Fishing Cobles

The No. 1 motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith was launched at 10.30 A.M., on the 4th November, as conditions were bad and some of the local boats and cobles were at sea. A moderate east breeze was blowing, a rough sea was rolling into the harbour ; and owing to heavy rain, a lot of fresh water was running down the harbour. The life-boat made several trips and escorted in eleven motor fishing boats and three fishing cobles. She returned to her station at 2 P.M.—Rewards, £8 5s. Qd..
