UNABLE TO ROW Redcar, Yorkshire. At 3.30 p.m. on I3th April, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat was in difficulties near Huntcliff, Saltburn.

There was a fresh west-north-westerly breeze with a slight sea, and a flooding tide. The life-boat City of Leeds launched at 3.50, and 40 minutes later met the small boat. Three youths on board had gone fishing but had been unable to row back against the wind and tide and their anchor had fouled. They were taken on board the life-boat which returned to her station with the boat in tow. The survivors were treated in hospital for exposure and shock but were later reported to have completely recovered. The lifeboat arrived at her station at 5.20..
