JANUARY 2 7TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

From noon onwards a watch was kept for the local motor fishing boat North Star. A strong north-north-east gale was blowing, with a rough sea and snow showers, and all the other boats had already come into harbour. When the missing boat was seen four miles to the north the No. 1 motor lifeboat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. It was then 3.5. She met the North Star and accompanied her into harbour. - Rewards, £8 10s..
