Fishing Cobles
CULLERCOATS.—On the llth January, 1893, twenty-five cobles went out fishing, but as a strong N.E. gale sprung up accompanied by a rough sea they were compelled to return to port. Seventeen of them arrived safely in the harbour, but by the time the others came up the sea was so high that it was unsafe for them to enter. The Life-boat Co-operator No. 1 was launched at noon and accompaniedaccompanied seven of the boats into safety. The eighth coble encountered such a dangerous sea that it became necessary to take her crew of four men into the Life-boat and tow their boat into the harbour..
