Flamborough, Yorkshire. At 2.50 on the afternooon of the 30th of November, 1958, the coxswain received a message from the honorary secretary of the Bridlington life-boat station that the fishing boat Seafarer II of Bridlington had broken down twelve miles east of Flamborough Head.

At 3.5 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched in a heavy swell, with a fresh north-easterly wind blowing and a flood tide. She found the fishing boat with a crew of four. The skipper asked for the life-boat to escort his boat into harbour, as an emergency repair had been carried out to her engine. Both boats reached Bridlington at 7.30. Rewards to the crew, £15 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £16 4s..
