Some of the fishing cobles having gone to sea on the 22nd April in a moderate E.S.E. wind, it was seen about noon that the rough sea and outgoing tide would render their return dangerous. The No. 1 Life-boat Robert and Mary Ellis accord- ingly went to their assistance. The first coble came in about 1 P.M., and the second at 3 P.M., and as the bar was then no better the Coxswain remained and attended the others into safety, the work being completed at about 6 P.M..
