Success

NOVEMBER 19TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the afternoon the weather worsened. The only Whitby fishing boat still at sea was the motor fishing boat Success.

Anxiety was felt for her safety. A southwesterly breeze was blowing and there was a heavy ground swell and fog. The No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 4.15, met the Success a mile and a half north of Whitby and escorted her into the harbour, arriving back at her station at 5.30. - Rewards, £11 6s. 6d..
