JAN. 19TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning the fishing fleet put to sea, and by 2 P.M. all but four boats had returned. At this time a fresh S.E. breezewas blowing, with a strong sea and a dense fog. These conditions made it dangerous for the boats to enter the harbour, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 2.45 P.M. to help them in. She made three trips in different directions before she had found and escorted them all into harbour. She returned to her station at 5.45 P.M.-Rewards, £11 19s. 9d..
