OCTOBER 9TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning several fishing cobles had to cut, their lines and make for harbour, as a S.E. wind of almost gale force was blowing, and the sea was heavy. Three other cobles. Rosamond, Royal Empire and Brittania, were sixty miles to the south, off Robin Hood’s Bay. Anxiety was felt for their safety, and at 10.45 A.M. the No. 1 motor. life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. She met the cobles, got on their weather side. and escorted them safely to Whitby Harbour, which was reached at 1.15 P.M. - Rewards, £6 7s. 6d..
