NOV 13TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

Shortly after 11 A.M. the small fishing coble Royal Empire was expected to enter the harbour. The breeze from the S.W. was light but a ground swell was breaking at the harbour entrance. At 11.30 A.M. the pulling and sailing life-boat Jacob and Rachael Vallentine was launched and escorted the coble to safety. Five keel boats were also waiting to enter, and the life-boat stood by at the harbour entrance until they had got in.

The life-boat returned to her station at 2.30 P.M. - Rewards, £12 11s. 6d..
