SEPTEMBER 18TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

At six in the afternoon Whitby fishing boats and boats of the Scottish fishing fleets put out in moderate weather, but by nine o’clock it had worsened and the boats turned back. A strong northerly breeze was then blowing, and the sea was rough. The No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 9.15, met the fishing boats at Rock Buoy, and escorted them into the harbour. She returned to her station at 10.30.
