Fishing Cobles

Filey, Yorkshire. At 10.55 on the morning of the 6th of January, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that the wind was freshening and four local fishing cobles were out in a rough sea. At 11.10 the life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted was launched.

The tide was flooding. The life-boat escorted the four cobles safely to harbour and reached her station at 2.50. Rewards to the crew, £10 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 16s..
