Fishing Boats (6)

DECEMBER 2ND. - SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE. At 11A.M. the crew assembled for an exercise, but as a strong N.N.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and some fishing boats were out the launch was delayed and the crew stood by. Incoming trawlers reported bad weather, and at 12.20 P.M. the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched. She went in a northeasterly direction and found nine boats, all of which she escorted to harbour. She returned to her station at 4 P.M. - Rewards, £18 13s.
