APRIL 19TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

Early in the morning five fishing boats left to lift their crab pots. A N.E. wind of gale force got up with a rough sea and heavy rain, and two of the boats returned. As the weather grew worse the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 10.20 A.M., and escorted the other three boats, Success, Venus and Provider, to harbour in turn. She returned to her station at 1.45 P.M.
