Filey, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 2nd January, 1938, the local fishing cobles were caught at sea by bad weather. Some quickly came in, but others were several miles off, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Thomas Masterman Hardy was launched at 8.17 A.M. A squally N.N.E. breeze was then blowing, with a moderate to rough sea. The cobles were scattered from Flamborough Head to Cayton Bay, but the life-boat escorted them all into safety. She returned to her station at 12.40 P.M.—Rewards, £15 6s.
