Filey, Yorkshire.—About half past three in the afternoon on the 14th of November, 1949, the coastguard tele- phoned that the life-boat coxswain at Flamborough had reported a fishingcoble, broken down but under sail, a mile north-east of the North Landing.

As it was thought this might be the Filey coble Mary, which was known to be at sea, the Filey life-boat The Cuttle was launched at 3.46. A north- westerly wind was blowing, and the sea was smooth. The life-boat found that the coble was indeed the Mary, which had broken down at eleven in the morning, and with her in tow reached her station at six o'clock.—Rewards, £16..
