MAY 19TH. - BRIDLINGTON, YORKSHIRE.

During the afternoon a strong northerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea and rain squalls, and news was sent to the life-boat station that the open motor fishing coble Sarah Elizabeth had not returned from the fishing ground. It was then learnt from the Ulrome coastguard that she had been seen drifting south, and the motor lifeboat Stanhope Smart was launched at 4.45 P.M. Eight miles to the south she found the Sarah Elizabeth. Her engine had failed, her propeller been damaged, her sails blown away, and her crew of three were exhausted with baling. The life-boat took them aboard and, with the coble in tow, arrived back at her station at 8.15 P.M. - Rewards, £11 7s.
