Rizzio

Bridlington, Yorkshire. At three o'clock on the afternoon of the 3rd of January, 1958, the honorary secretary received a message that there was an injured man on board the steam trawler Rizzio, of Grimsby. At five o'clock the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched with a doctor on board in a rough sea. There was a moderate south-south-easterly gale and an ebbing tide. The life-boat met the trawler, and after the doctor had consulted the Rizzio's skipper it was decided to leave the injured man on board, as the trawler was returning to Grimsby.

The life-boat reached her station at 6.10. Rewards to the crew, £7 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 11s..
