Runswick, Yorkshire - At 9.45 a.m.

on the 16th May, 1967, it was noted that five fishing cobles from Staithes were still at sea and the strong northerly gale which had blown up was making conditions at Staithes harbour mouth dangerous. The life-boat The Elliott Gill was launched at 10.05 in a rough sea. It was high water.

She proceeded to Staithes and escorted the five cobles into harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.50 p.m..
