Success II

Scarborough, Yorkshire. At 12.20 on the afternoon of the 17th of Febru- ary, 1958, the coastguard and honorary secretary told the coxswain that three Whitby fishing boats were at sea and that because conditions were bad they would probably make for Scarborough.

At 1.10 the life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched in a rough sea, with a fresh northerly gale blowing and a flood tide. The life- boat stood by while the fishing boat Success II entered the harbour. As the other two boats had reached Whitby, the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 2.5. Rewards to the crew, £7 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 19s..
