Scarborough, Yorkshire. At 11.45 on the morning of the 1st of February, 1960, the life-boat /. G. Graves of Sheffield was launched in a light south- easterly wind and a rough sea, as five local fishing cobles were at sea and the weather was deteriorating. It was an hour and a half before low water. The life-boat stood by and awaited the arrival of the cobles, and the cox- swain then advised their skippers to wait until the flood tide started to make before entering harbour. Each coble was escorted safely into harbour.

Rewards to the crew, £12 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 8s..
