OCT. 31ST. - SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.

A strong easterly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. Two local fishing boats Premier and Pride were out, and anxiety was felt for their safety. The lifeboat crew and helpers assembled at 10.30 A.M.

Later the coastguard reported that the Premier was coming in from the eastward, and at 3.45 P.M. the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched. She met the Premier at 4 P.M., passed life-belts to her crew, and escorted her to harbour. Putting out again, and going in a S.E. direction, she picked up the Pride and escorted her to safety. She returned to her station at 5 P.M. - Rewards, £19 9s..
