Civil Joyce, Hellier, Blue Bird and Dorothy

The local fishing cobles Civil Joyce, Hellier, Blue Bird and Dorothy put to sea at 7 A.M. to haul lines which had been shot overnight.

The weather was fair. By 11 A.M. a north gale was blowing, with a very rough sea, and the cobles were in danger. The pulling and sailing life- boat Hollon the Third was launched at 11.20 A.M., met them off Filey Brigg and escorted them into safety. She returned to her station at J.30 P.M.— Rewards, £14 15s. 6d..
