Several cobles belonging to Filey were overtaken by bad weather when at sea on the 1st May.

The wind suddenly increased to a strong northerly gale and the boats which were to the north of the " Brig " were able to run into the Bay for shelter, but the coble Baden Powell was reported five miles to south-east of the town, near Speeton Cliff. The Life-boat Hollon the Third was launched and went to her assistance, standing by her in case of necessity until safely ashore..
