On the 12th Feb. two of the Filey fishing vessels, the Admiral Mitford, and the Thomas and Mary, which were in the Bay, sent their small boats ashore with fish, leaving only a man and a boy in each yawl. While the men were occupied on the land the wind increased, and brought up a very heavy sea, and when they at- tempted to return to their yawls, they found it impossible to do so in their boats, one filling, and the other being nearly capsized, in the attempt. Finding such to be the case, the Life-boat was got out, and being filled with the men belonging to the two yawls and its own crew, it was most successfully launched and the men were put on board their respective crafts.
