Ann Elizabeth

WHITBY.—On the 23rd February, when blowing hard from N.N.E., while several fishing-cobles were running into the harbour, one, the Ann Elizabeth, was caught by a cross sea and capsized. The No. 1 Life-boat, Robert Whitworth, was promptlylaunched. In the meantime one of the other cobles had approached the overturned boat and rescued 2 men; a third was drowned, though the body was recovered; the Life-boat having reached the spot, immediately afterwards relieved the coble of the crew of the capsized boat and returned into port with them..
