Filey, Yorkshire. At 10.40 on the morning of the 18th of May, 1959, the honorary secretary received a message from the second coxswain that five local fishing cobles were out in bad weather.

The honorary secretary went to the landing stage and spoke to one of the skippers of the returning cobles, who told him that conditions were very bad.

He therefore decided that the life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted should be launched. With the second coxswain in command the life-boat put out at 11.4 in a rough sea, with a strong north- north-westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide. She escorted four cobles safely ashore and reached her station at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £8 8s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 13s..
