Isabella

Filey, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 15th of September, 1953, the local fishing coble Isabella put to sea with a crew of three to work her crab pots near Brig buoy. The weather was bad, and at 10.50 it was decided to launch the life-boat to escort her in. At eleven o'clock the life-boat The Cuttle put to sea. There was a rough sea with a south-easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat accompanied the coble to Filey, reaching her station again at 12.50.—Rewards, £12 2s..
