Annie

About 2 p M., on the 8th February, the pilot coble Annie, of Redcar, which had gone out in the morning to a steamer, but had failed to reach her on account of the strong N.W. gale and heavy sea, was seen off Redcar, beyond the breakers, with her anchor down. She was in considerable danger of foundering and there were two men on board. The crew of the Life-boat Brothers were assembled, the boat was launched and proceeded towards the coble. The coble then lifted her anchor and drifted in, closely followed by the Life-boat, and both came ashore in safety halfway between Marske and Saltburn, at about 3.30 P.M. Horses were then procured, and the Brothers was conveyed on her carriage by road back to Redcar..
