Whitby, Yorkshire. At 6.35 on the morning of the 6th of July, 1958, the coxswain saw a flare burning north of Whitby harbour. At seven o'clock the life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched in a slight sea. There was a moderate north-westerly wind and it was high water. The life-boat foundthe motor fishing vessel Dorothy of Whitby, with a crew of five, broken down with an engine failure near Upgang Rock. Her anchors were drag- ging, and her crew had burnt seven flares and a blanket soaked in oil to attract attention. The life-boat towed the Dorothy to harbour and reached her station at 7.50. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
