Bridlington, Yorkshire.—On the 17th November a heavy gale sprang up from the north, with a very heavy sea and rain. Several open cobles were at sea, and the motor life-boat Stanhope Smart was launched at 6.55 P.M. She went in the direction where the boats had been last seen. At 7.35 P.M. she spoke the coble Kate and Violet, and learned that the cobfe Vera Mary, of Bridlington, with two men on board, was in difficulties. She found her at 8 P.M., five miles south of Bridlington.

Her engine had broken down and she was three parts full of water. With some difficulty she took the coble in tow and arrived at Bridlington at 9 P.M.—Rewards, £18 7*. 6d..
