ESCORT FOR FISHING BOAT IN GALE Scarborough, Yorkshire. On the morning of the 13th February, 1962, the conditions at the harbour bar were very bad because of heavy seas and the state of the tide. As the local fishing boat Margaret Jane was about to return to harbour, it was decided at 10.5 to launch the life-boat J. G. Graves of Sheffield in a strong north-northwesterly gale and a very rough sea. It was almost high water. The life-boat was launched at 10.10 and came up with the Margaret Jane one mile northeast of the castle. The coxswain advised her skipper to stream his drogue, and the life-boat escorted the boat safely into harbour, reaching her station at eleven o'clock..
