At eight in the morning of 20th October the No. 2 Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Matthew Middlewood was launched in a moderate, but increasing, N.N.E. gale, with a heavy sea, as the motor fishing coble Brittania, of Flamborough, had not returned with the rest of the fishing boats. About two miles east of the Head, the Life-boat met the coble and escorted her through the heavy seas to the safety of the bay, to which several large vessels were running for shelter before the gale.—Rewards, £18 15s.
