Number: A tug and a Grimsby fishing vessel were in collision near Bull Light on the morning of April 1.

Being informed that there were people in the sea, Number lifeboat, the 46' 9" Watson City of Bradford III, launched in a westerly breeze with a slight sea and good visibility. She found that the tug had picked up all five people from the sea; they were transferred to the lifeboat, given first aid for exposure and shock and landed at Grimsby.
