At 6 A.M. on the 31st January the fishing cobles put to sea to haul their lines, and at 9 A.M.

the wind and sea increased. Twenty- one of the cobles got into safety, but the coble Sallie was in great danger when she was still three miles to the south-east of Filey. The Life-boat Hollon the Third was launched to assist her. By this time the weather had become very bad, the wind blowing a gale from north, with heavy snow- showers. On reaching the coble the men on board were supplied with life- belts and the Life-boat brought them and their boat into safety..
