WHITBY.—Two fishing-cobles belonging to this port, the Star of Peace and the Mary Ann, were observed to be making for the harbour on the evening of the 27th July. On account of the heavy sea and the ebb tide running out it was seen that there was considerable risk that they would not safely cross the bar. Accordingly the John Fielden Life-boat waslaunched, and proceeding out she escorted the boats safely over the bar, their crews being greatly encouraged by the presence of the Life-boat..
