STAITHES, YORKSHIRE. — The cobles which were out fishing on the afternoon of the 4th January were overtaken by a thick fog and at about 3.30 a boat with a crew of five men out off from the shore to assist them. At 5.15, as darkness was coming on and the sea increasing, the boat returned and the Life-boat Jonathan Stott was thereupon launched and remained in attendance until 6.30, all the fishermen having then safely landed.
