ESCORT FOR DINGHY WITH TWO CHILDREN ABOARD Filey, Yorkshire. At 7.33 on the evening of the 23rd September, 1962, the coastguard passed on to the honorary secretary a report from a doctor's wife that the doctor and two children aged six and nine had gone out in a dinghy early in the afternoon and had not returned. There was a light westerly breeze with a smooth sea, and it was shortly after low water. At 7.50 the lifeboat The Isa & Penryn Milsted was launched.

She found the dinghy off Filey Brig being escorted by the Scarborough fishing boat F. and S. Colling. The dinghy had run out of fuel, and the fishing boat had supplied her with petrol. The life-boat escorted the dinghy ashore and then returned to her station, arriving at nine o'clock..
