The Motor Coble Premier II

The motor coble Premier II put to sea, to lift her crab pots, in the early morning of the 11th March. Later the weather became rough, with a strong E.S.E. breeze and a heavy sea, and it was decided to launch the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II, as the coble could not be seen. She put off at 12 noon and fell in with the coble when six miles out. Life- belts were handed to the three men on board the Premier II, and, escorted by the life-boat, she made harbour safely at 1.45 P.M.—Rewards, £19 17s. 6d..
