MARCH 1ST. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

The fishing fleet was out in bad weather, with strong squalls from the north, snow showers and a rough sea, and at 11.30 in the morning, as four boats had not returned, it was decided to send out the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth. She left at 11.40 and found the North Star with her engine broken down one and a half miles to the north of Whitby. As the life-boat arrived she restarted her engine, and the life-boat escorted her in. The life-boat then went out again and stood by until the other three boats had made harbour. She returned to her station at 1.45. - Rewards, £7 11s..
