Three local fishing cobles, Kingfisher, Morning Star and S. B. Colling, went out crabbing on the morning of the 10th February. Shortly afterwards the sea became rough and the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched to their help. A strong N.E. breeze was blowing. The life-boat came up with the Morning Star about one mile to the eastward, handed life-belts to her crew, and escorted her into harbour. The S. B. Colling and the Kingfisher were then met in turn, and escorted safely in. While the life-boat crew went home for dry clothing the S. B. Colling put to sea again to collect some lines, and as the sea was getting worse the life-boat went off again and escorted her in. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 4.15 P.M.—Rewards, £19 175. Qd..
