TWO BOYS SAVED At 2.55 p.m. on I2th November, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that two boys in army uniform appeared to be in difficulties in a boat about two hundred and fifty yards off Cleethorpes. The anchor cable of their boat had been made fast amidships with the result that the boat was heeled over and in danger of capsizing. There was a near gale from the south-west-bywest with a very rough sea. It was almost high water. The life-boat City of Bradford HI was launched at 3.5 and the two boys were taken off their boat. The boat was towed to Grimsby where the boys were landed. The life-boat crew had a meal at the Seamen's Mission and remained on board the life-boat during the night, intending to leave Grimsby at 1.30 a.m.

Because of the weather conditions the life-boat remained at Grimsby until the weather moderated. She arrived back at her station at 2.30 p.m. on I3th November, 1963..
