DECEMBER 7TH. - FLAMBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE. At 5.30 in the morning the life-boat coxswain heard an SOS call.

There was a dense fog. A nasty swell was running with a southerly wind which freshened later into a gale. The motor lifeboat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched, with difficulty, at six o’clock, and near the south landing in Bridlington Bay found two Scottish drifters ashore. They were the Loranthus, of Banff, and the Harvest Reaper, of Buckie, on their way home from the Great Yarmouth herring-fishing. Fishermen had already gone on board them from cobles. The life-boat put four men on board one of the drifters and stood by. As the tide flowed, the cobles ran out kedges and the drifters refloated about 1.5. The life-boat reached her station again in rapidly worsening weather at 2.10 that afternoon. - Property salvage case..
