Bridlington, Yorkshire. At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 10th of May, 1959, the assistant harbour master told the honorary secretary that a small boat fitted with an outboard motor had capsized outside the harbour. At 2.40 the life-boat Lucy Lavers, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a heavy swell. There was a strong easterly wind and it was low water.

Before the life-boat reached the casualty two young men aboard the dinghy swam safely ashore and their boat was beached. The life-boat then escorted four small boats to the harbour and reached her station at 3.50. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7..
