DECEMBER 1ST. - RUNSWICK, YORKSHIRE.

The Runswick and Staithes cobles were out fishing in a moderate wind, but during the morning the wind increased to a strong gale from the N.N.W., with a rough sea and heavy rain, and the motor life-boat Robert Patton - The Always Ready was launched at 11.35 A.M. The district inspector of life-boats, Commander T. G. Michelmore, R.D., R.N.R., who was at the station, went out with her. Off Staithes the life-boat found two cobles of Runswick and three of Staithes, and as in that weather it was impossible to make a landing at Staithes she escorted allfive into Runswick, and returned to her station, arriving at 2.15 in the afternoon.- Rewards, £10 15s..
