The Motor Fishing Boats Easter Morn, Gem, Pilot Me, Jessie Ann, and Mona

FEBRUARY 11TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning the fishing boats went to sea. The sea got up and made it very dangerous for the boats to cross the bar on their return. At 2.45 in the afternoon the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched in a north-northwest wind, with a rough sea. She escorted into harbour the motor fishing boats Easter Morn, Gem, Pilot Me, Jessie Ann, and Mona, and returned to her station at five o’clock.- Rewards, £8 10s..
