Fishing Cobles
NEWBIGGIN, NORTHUMBERLAND.—Thirty two fishing-cobles proceeded to their fishing ground about 18 or 20 miles distant at 3.30 on the morning of the 14th. January. A strong wind sprung up from the S.E. at about 7 o'clock, and by 9 o'clock it had increased to a gale. At 12.30 the boats were nearing the shore, and as it was evident they would incur great risk in coming in the Life-boat Robert and Susan put of to assist them, and remained in attendance until all danger was past..
