Fishing Cobles
Newbiggin, Northumberland,—On the morning of the 19th October, 1939, the second coxswain reported that six fishing cobles had not returned from the night fishing. A gentle N.E. breeze was blowing. The sea was moderate, but was growing stronger. At 11.55A.M. the motor life-boat Augustus and Laura was launched, found the cobles, escorted them into harbour, and returned to her station at 1.10 P.M.— Rewards, £12 7s..
