NEWBIGGIN.—On the 8th November, a very heavy gale from the N.E. sprang up at about 10 A.M., and several fishing cobles which had gone out at 4 o'clock, when it was quite calm, were in very great danger. At 1 P.M. the storm increased to such an extent that it was deemed advisable to launch the Life-boat, four of the cobles not having returned to port. The Life-boat W. Hopkinson of Srighouse accordingly proceeded out, and accompanied the boats round Newbiggin Point and into the bay, the presence of the Boat being a great encouragement to the men in rounding the point..
