Several of the fishing cobles belonging to Scarborough proceeded to the fishing grounds early in the morning of the 4th April, but a strong N.E. wind brought up a rough sea, and the boats ran for shelter. At about 11.20 A.M.

the entrance to the harbour was very dangerous, and as the coble Violet had not returned, the Life-boat Queembury was despatched to assist her. As soon as the Life-boat gob to sea a steam trawler spoke her and towed her about three miles to the northward, where she fell in with the missing coble. Her three occupants were taken into the boat, and the Life-boat, with the coble in tow, returned to Scarborough..
