At 6 A.M. on the 23rd March the fishing-boats engaged in crab-fishing put to sea for the purpose of hauling up their crab pots. The wind at the time was blowing strongly from the E.N.E.; later in the morning it increased. About 9.30 A.M. the Life- boat Hollon the Third was launched to their help, as their return was attended by considerable danger. The boat re- mained at sea for three hours until all the cobles had regained safety..
