Britannia (1)

DEC. 20TH. - FLAMBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE. During the morning a strong E.N.E. wind was blowing, increasing at times to gale force. A heavy sea was running. The local fishing coble Britannia was at sea, and anxiety was felt for her. The motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched at 11.30 A.M. and met the coble about two miles away. The life-boat escorted her through the heavy broken seas. - Rewards, £14 10s. 6d.
