Numerous vessels were at anchor under Speeton Cliffs on the 5th Feb., when a gale of wind sprang up from the S.S.E., accompanied by a very heavy sea, and one of them, the schooner Starling, of Yarmouth, was seen approach- ing Filey with signals of distress flying.

The Life-boat Hollon went off to her, and found she was in a leaky state; she then gallantly saved the whole of the crew, 5 in number.
