Shortly before 8 A.M., on the 2nd April, it was reported that the fishing fleet were at sea and some of them were coming for the har- bour. There was a strong W.N.W.

breeze, and the sea was growing on the Bar as the tide fell, making it very dangerous for the cobles to enter. The No. 1 Life-boat, Robert and Mary Ellis, was sent to assist them, and made repeated trips until all the cobles, fifteen in number, were safely accompanied into harbour..
