fishing coble May Blossom, of Whitby, had a trying1 experience when making for Whitby on the 24th March. The coble had been out to the crab pots, and when returning a heavy easterly sea was breaking across the entrance of the harbour. The Life-boat Robert and Mary Ellis was launched and stood by the coble, which managed to cross the bar in safety, although she came near being swamped several times..
