A t 11.15 P.M. on the 3rd August a large coble, named the Sapora Elizabeth, of Whitby, and manned by six hands, was in considerable danger of being driven on to a lee shore, owing to a wind suddenly springing up from N.N.E.

The Life-boat, Hester Bothschild, was launched, and having rescued the six men on board, towed the coble into a place of safety, where she was left at anchor,.
