Isabella (1)

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 1.45 on the after- noon of the 2nd of October. 1952, the life-boat coxswain reported that a local man had put off in his fishing coble Isabella to attend to his crab-pots in bad weather. The weather was deteri- orating and, as anxiety was felt for his safety, the life-boat The Cuttle was launched at two o'clock in a rough sea, with a strong north-westerly wind blowing. She found the coble north- east of Filey Brigg, escorted her to the shore, and reached her station again at 4.50.—Rewards, £17 13*..
