The Fishing Cobel Sybil, of Redcar

On the 25th Sep- tember, the fishing coble Sybil, of Redcar, was seen in great danger in the roadstead in a fresh wind and heavy sea. The life-boat Burton-on-Trent went out and brought ashore the vessel's crew of 2 men.

The same valuable life-boat had, previous to performing the above service, gone off and brought ashore the crew of 3 men of the fishing-coble Gentle Annie, which was lying at anchor in a dangerous position under the lee of the Salt Scar Rocks..
