Filey, Yorkshire.—On the afternoon of the 7th of December, 1950, some fishing cobles of Filey were at sea.

Because of the freshening north-westerly wind and mounting seas it was decided to launch the life-boat, and at 1.36 The Cuttle put out with the motor mechanic in charge in the absence of the coxswains, who were both at sea.

She escorted four cobles through the heavy seas off Filey Brig, and then learned from the coastguard that all boats were safe ashore. So she returned to her station, arriving at 2.45.— Rewards, £13 17s..
