Filey, Yorkshire. At 11.30 on the morning of the 4th April, 1961, in the absence of the honorary secretary, the motor mechanic informed the branch chairman that nine cobles were still at sea and, in view of weather conditions, the life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted was launched ten minutes later. Therewas a fresh south-easterly wind with a rough sea and it was one hour before low water. During the time the cobles were being escorted into harbour the weather deteriorated considerably and the life-boat was not able to return to her station until three o'clock. She arrived at 3.20..
