Fishing Cobles (1)

Staithes, Yorkshire. — Early on the morning of the 3rd June five local fishing cobles put out to the fishing ground to haul crab pots. The weather was fine, but there was a strong searunning. The sea increased until there was considerable risk to the cobles in making harbour, and the pulling and sailing life-boat John Anthony was launched at 9.45' A.M. She stood by until all the cobles had got safely in, and returned to her station at 11.30 A.M.—Rewards, £7 15*..
