At about 11 A.M. on the 13th February, J. Crawford, the Second Coxswain of the Lifeboat Queensbury, received information that two cobles were in difficulties about four miles off Scarborough, and as the sea was very rough and becoming worse he went to their assistance. After the boat had been at sea about an hour it was seen that it would not be possible for her to deal with both cobles, and a steam trawler named the Tarantula was, therefore, also dispatched. The Life- boat succeeded in reaching one of the cobles named the Friendship and took the crew of three hands on board, towing the coble in safety to the harbour. The crew of the other coble were saved by the Tarantula..
