FLAMBOROUGH.—Thewindrose suddenly at about 9 A.M. on the 8th February, and continued to increase in force until, at about 10.30, it was blowing a fierce gale from the N.W., and there was a heavy sea.

As some of the fishing cobles were in considerable danger the No. 1 Life-boat Mary Frederick, put off to their assistance, taking two extra men on board, who were transferred to two of the boats requiring help. The Life-boat kept in company with the cobles, remaining in their rear until they were considered out of danger.

It being impossible for the boat to return to her station then, on account of the wind and tide, her anchor was let down, and she rode until the wind somewhat abated, when the anchor was taken up and the boat made for the south station..
