Nov. 17TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

At 11.30 A.M. a message was received from the coastguard that a fishing boat could be seen towing two open boats and was possibly making for the harbour. A strong sea was Breaking outside the harbour entrance, making it very dangerous to enter. At noon the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. She waited outside the harbour and escorted the fishing boat and the two open boats into the harbour. The fishing boat was the Pride of Scarborough, towing two cobles which had been transferred to Whitby to be used for fishing. The lifeboat returned to her station at 12.30 P.M.- Rewards, £7 6s. 6d..
