Filey, Yorkshire.—At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 6th of January, 1953, the coastguard telephoned that the sea was heavy. Seven local fishing cobles were still at sea, and at 12.40 the life-boat The Cuttle was launched in a heavy sea with a fresh north- westerly breeze blowing. She escorted six cobles to the shore and then searched for the Venture, which was on her maiden trip. The Venture, how- ever, reached Filey under sail, having had her engine swamped. The life- boat was recalled to her station, arriving at 6.30. The Flamborough life-boat was also launched.—Rewards.
