"Robin Hood's Bay, Yorkshire.

On the 2nd September a salvage party of six was marooned on the wreck of the Harvest Queen, owing to their boat breaking away and capsizing. Their plight was seen by a plumber, who called out ex-Coxwain Oliver Storm and went out with him in a small motor boat at about 11am. A heavy sea was running, with a strong northerly wind, and it was impossible to get along side. At considerable risk the two men rescued the party with the help of life-lines. The rescuers were engaged for about three hours. Rewards, £2, and 3s.6d for fuel used."
