Humber, Yorkshire. At 8.17 on the morning of the 30th of July, 1959, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent that a cabin cruiser appeared to have broken down east of Bull Fort but did not seem to be in immediate danger. At 8.50 the coast- guard reported that the cabin cruiser's crew of three were waving for help, and at 9.5 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched. The sea was rough, a fresh north-north-westerly wind was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser Ethnein within twenty yards of the beach. One of her crew was very sea-sick. A line was connected and the cabin cruiser was taken in tow to the life-boat station, which was reached at 10.25. Paid Permanent Crew..
