TOW FOR YACHT IN ROUGH SEA Runswick, Yorkshire. At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 29th April, 1962, the coxswain and other members of the life-boat crew saw a yacht in difficulties north of Staithes. The honorary secretary was informed, and at 2.55 the life-boat The Elliott Gill was launched in a moderate northerly wind.

The sea was rough, and it was two hours after high water. The life-boat found the yacht Renette of Hartlepool with a crew of two at Huntcliff seven miles north of the station. She took her in tow to Hartlepool and reached her station at 9.20..
