Dorothy and Sun Beam

The local fishing cobles put to sea on the morning of the 2nd November, but bad weather got up and by 7.15 A.M. all of them, except the Dorotkyand the Sunbeam, had returned.

At 9.30 A.M. a strong N.W. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Hollon the Third was launched to the help of the two cobles, which were then three miles north of Carr Naze. The Dorothy reached safety without help, but the life-boat escorted the Sunbeam home, and returned to her station at 11.15 A.M.
