Silver Line & Star of Hope

On the 15th July the local fishing cobles put out early in the morning to haul their crab pots, but were overtaken by bad weather, and all returned to harbour except two, the Silver Line and the Star of Hope. A moderate N. breeze was blowing with a rough sea, and as the harbour could only be made with danger, the Pulling and Sailing Life- boat John Anthony was launched at 8.55 AM. and stood by until both cobles had got safely in.—Rewards, £1212s. 6
