The Gratitude and Evelyn and Margaret

APRIL 4TH. - SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.

During the early afternoon a heavy ground swell was running from the north-east. Incoming fishing cobles reported that the seas were growing, with broken water at the harbour entrance. A light north-east wind was blowing. At 4.15, as two cobles were still at sea, the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched. About a mile northeast of Castle Hill she found the cobles the Gratitude and Evelyn and Margaret, passed life-belts to the crew of the Gratitude and escorted both boats into harbour at 5.15.- Rewards, £13 7s. 6d..
