MARCH 13TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

About 9.20 in the morning the coastguard reported that a small Danish fishing boat was hove to near Whitby Rock Buoy, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 9.35. A fresh easterly breeze was blowing and heavy seas were running. The life-boat found the motor fishing boat Ole Knude, with a crew of four.

The skipper said he would have liked to make Hartlepool, but wind and sea were too heavy and he wanted to come into Whitby.

He asked for a life-boatman to be put on board as a pilot. As this could not be done without risk of damage to the boats, the lifeboat lead the way and the Ole Knude followed her into harbour, arriving at 10.30. - Rewards, £7 11s..
