Scarborough, Yorkshire. On the 1st of November, 1960, a south-easterly gale was blowing and conditions at the harbour entrance were very bad. As two fishing boats were still at sea, it was decided to launch the life-boat so that she could escort them into harbour. At 10.30 the life-boat /. G. Graves of Sheffield was launched on the ebb tide.

The fishing boat Marion was sighted in the bay, and the life-boat stood by her until there was sufficient depth of waterto escort her into harbour. The life-boat returned to the entrance and waited for the other fishing boats to arrive. As the weather conditions improved, the life-boat was able to return to her station at 2.20..
