At 12.45 P.M. on the 18th March two of the fishing-cobles belonging to Robin Hood's Bay, named the Emily and Eva and The Three Brothers, which had gone off earlier in the morning to fish, were in danger. Whilst fishing the wind and sea increased, and the return of the boats was accompanied by con- siderable risk. The Life-boat Mary Ann Lockwood was launched, and escorted the cobles to a safe landing, and then returned to her station. When making for land a heavy sea was running inshore, which rendered it very dangerous for the boat and crew..
