In a mode- rate westerly breeze with a growing sea on the evening of the 2nd September, the services of the Life-boat were called for to assist two of the fishing cobles belonging to Staithes. A telegram from Staithes stated that the boats had been warned that it was impossible to attempt to land at that place and that they were making for Runswick. The crew of the Life-boat were at once mustered and the boat launched at 8.30 P.M. She pro- ceeded to sea, and there awaited the cobles, which she towed into safety..
