Filey, Yorkshire.—At about 10.25 A.M. on the 18th February, 1939, two local fishing cobles were behind Filey Brig, where heavy seas were running.

A W.N.W. fresh wind was blowing, with a moderate to rough sea. At 10.45 A.M.

the pulling and sailing life-boat Thomas Masterman Hardy was launched. She found the fishing coble Isabella and escorted her into safety. The other coble reached safety unaided, and the life-boat returned to her station at 12.15 P.M.—Rewards, £16 2s..
