Fishing Cobles (1)

Filey, Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 3rd November, 1939, four motor fishing cobles were at sea. The weather was bad. Watch was kept, and at 11.40 A.M., as the conditions were then dangerous for the returning boats, the pulling and sailing life-boat Thomas Masterman Hardy was launched. High seas broke over her and soaked the crew, but she escorted the cobles into safety and returned to her station at 1.45 P.M.—Rewards, £16 2*..
