Fishing Cobles (1)
STAITHES, YORKSHIRE.—While some of the fishing cobles were at sea on the 12th May, the wind, which was blowing in a north-easterly direction, freshened and the sea became rough. As it was probable that some of the boats would require assistance, the Jonathan Stott Life-boat launched at 9.30 A.M., and remained by the boats while they crossed the bar. When all had reached the land in safety, which was accomplished by 1 P.M., the Life-boat returned ashore..
