On the 3rd November, the Scarborough life-boat put off three times and brought safely into port three fishing cobles and their *crews, consisting of 9 men, during a strong N.N.W. wind and a heavy sea. The cobles were re- turning from their fishing-ground, and owing to the high seas running round the pier-head, it was feared they would not be able to reach the harbour in safety.

The life-boat's crew made no charge for this service to their comrades..
