Bridlington, Yorkshire. On the 12th of May, 1960, nine local motor fishing boats put to sea at four o'clock in the morning to enable the fishermen to attend to their crab pots. A fresh easter- ly wind was blowing, and during the morning the weather deteriorated. By two o'clock in the afternoon the wind, which was blowing from the south- south-east, had increased and there was a correspondingly rough sea. At 2.25 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched at low water just as the fishing vessels arrived outside the harbour. She escorted them all safely in. The life-boat was placed at moor- ings at 5.23 and rehoused at 9.40. Re- wards to the crew. £11 8s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore £13 5s..
