Fishing Boats
Oh the morning of the 17th November; while a large number of fishing-boats were out, the wind rose, on the turn of the tide, to a strong gale from S.E. The sea was also very rough. The cobles that were nearest the shore managed to get in safely, when their crews immediately manned the life-boat, and went oft' to the help of their fellow- • fishermen. One boat was out at a distance of two miles; but with the assistance of the life-boat, she and all the other boats with their crews were safely got -into port. The Hon. Sec., the Rev. F. H. ASHHURST, thought that nearly 100 persons were re- leased from imminent peril by the timely help and presence of the life-boat.
