The No. 2 Life-boat, John Fielden, was launched at 8 A.M. on the 22nd January, in an E.S.E. gale and heavy sea, to the as- sistance of the fishing-boats Margaret and Jane and Priscilla, of Filey, and rescued the crews of eight men. The boats came into the roads being unable to make the harbour on account of the heavy sea on the bar. They remained under sail for a considerable time with the Life-boat in attendance, but when, the tide turned it was necessary to abandon them. The boats were anchored with a view to their riding out the gale if possible, and the crews were taken into the Life-boat, which landed them about noon..
