Jean and Barbara

Filey, Yorkshire. — During the late afternoon of the 30th of January, 1948, anxiety was felt for the safety of the local fishing coble Jean and Barbara, which was overdue, with a crew of three, and at 5.23 the motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched. She searched in a moderate south-westerly breeze and a slight sea and found the coble two miles south of Filey Brigg Buoy.

Her engine had broken down, but she re-started it and made for harbour escorted by the life-boat. They ar- rived at 6.30 that evening.—Rewards, £11 5s..
