The Motor Boats Peggy II and Sheila

NOVEMBER 18TH . - FILEY, YORK-SHIRE During the afternoon two local motor boats were reported overdue, and at 5 P.M. the motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched to search for them . A light westerly wind was blowing, with a moderate swell. The life-boat found the Peggy II coming in under her own power, and after escorting her part of the way, the life-boat went to look for the other boat, the Sheila.

She found her, with her engine broken down, two miles off Filey Brig. As darkness was approaching she took her in tow and brought her in. - Rewards, £16 19s.
