Fishing Boats

Filey, Yorkshire. — Early on the morning of the 2nd November the local fishing fleet, fifteen boats, put to ssa in fair weather. Later on the weather changed, and by 8.45 A.M. a strong N.N.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate and increasing sea, heavy rain and fog. One of the cobles left her lines and ran for shore to ask for the life-boat, as the cobles were in danger. The pulling and sailing lifeboat Jlollon the Third was launched at 9.36 A.M., escorted all of them into safety, and returned to her station at noon.—Rewards, £15 145. 6d..
