FILEY, YORKSHIRE.—At 7 A.M., on the 29th January, the fishing cobles, twentyeight in number, put to sea. At 10 o'clock the wind began to freshen, increasing to a gale from E.N.E. accompanied by a rough sea and showers of rain and snow. At 12.30 the Coxswain of the Life-boat returned ashore in his boat and decided to take out the Lifeboat Hollon the Second to help the others.

She was at once launched, proceeded to the Bell buoy, where the cobles would encounter the greatest danger, and remained afloat until all the boats were in safety; the crews of the last three boats were furnished with life-belts from the Life-boat..
