Kathleen

NOVEMBER 19TH. - SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE. The local fishing coble Kathleen was still at sea at dusk. The tide was ebbing fast and there was a heavy swell. It was thought advisable for the motor life-boat to put out and at 4.15 the Herbert Joy II was launched. She found the Kathleen, whose engine had broken down, in tow of the fishing coble Hilda, half a mile east of Scarborough. She escorted them into harbour and arrived back at her station at 4.33. - Rewards, £19 9s..
