Scarborough, Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 12th of December,1957, the coxswain saw that the weather was deteriorating and asked permission of the honorary secretary to launch the life-boat to escort two fishing cobles still at sea. At 10.10 the life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched in a heavy swell. There was a moderate north-easterly gale and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the fishing coble Rachel, of Scar- borough, four miles east-north-east of the castle and escorted her to harbour.

She then found the coble Premier two miles east-by-south of the castle and escorted her to harbour too. The life- boat stood by the harbour entrance while four larger keel-boats entered and finally reached her station at 5.45.

Rewards to the crew, £17 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £10 4s..
