MARCH 14TH. - RUNSWICK, YORKSHIRE.

At 7.46 A.M. four Staithes fishing cobles put off to the fishing ground. As the weather was threatening, two of the boats returned, but the other two began fishing.

As the weather got worse the motor life-boat Robert Patton - The Always Ready was launched at 11 A.M. A very strong N.E. wind was then blowing, with a heavy sea and snow showers. The life-boat arrived off Staithes at about 11.30 A.M. and escorted into harbour the two fishing cobles Minnie and Star of Hope. She returned to her station at 1.30 P.M. - Rewards, £15 11s.
