Scarborough, Yorkshire. On the morning of the 13th of November,1959, the weather grew rapidly worse, and at 8.15 the life-boat J. G. Graves of Sheffield was launched as there were several local fishing cobles at sea.

There was a strong-south-easterly gale, the sea was very rough, and it was one hour before low water. The life-boat found the cobles Rosemary and Grati- tude one mile north-by-east of the castle and escorted them to harbour.

Later she found the coble Betty, which she also escorted to harbour. After standing by at the harbour entrance until the keel boats had all safely returned, the life-boat reached her station at 1.25. Rewards to the crew, £14 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 9s..
