Fishing Cobles (2)

Holy Island, Northumberland.—On the morning of the 20th February the coastguard reported that the sea was very rough, and breaking on the harbour bar. As seven of the local fishing cobles were at sea, the motor life-boat Milburn was launched at 9.50 A.M. She escorted the cobles into harbour. On the way in she saw five Seahouses cobles running for shelter, put out again and escorted them in. She returned to her station at 12.30 P.M.—Rewards, £7 15s. 6d..
