FISHING BOAT TAKES YACHT IN TOW Humber, Yorkshire. At 4.55 on the afternoon of the 23rd May, 1962, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent that a yacht needed help three miles east-north-east of Spurn lighthouse but that a trawler was making towards her. Twenty minutes later a message was received from the trawler Notts Forest that an attempt to take the yacht Valhalla, which had engine trouble, in tow had been unsuccessful and the help of the life-boat was needed. The life-boat City of Bradford HI was launched at 5.25 in a strong west-by-northerly wind and a moderate sea. It was two and a quarter hours after low water. When the lifeboat reached the position given she found that another vessel, the fishing boat Peggy HI of Grimsby, had taken the yacht in tow. The life-boat stood by until both vessels had entered the river safely and then returned to her station, arriving at 7.25..
