Fishing Cobles

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 7.15 on the morning of the 14th of November, 1956, when the weather was deteriorating, the coastguard rang up and asked for the life-boat to escort eight local fishing cobles to harbour. The life-boat Isa and Penryn Milsted was launched at 7.32. There was a rough sea, a fresh north-easterly gale was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat escorted the cobles to harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 12.34.—Rewards to the crew, £14; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 9s..
