AIR AND SEA SEARCH FOR COBLE Filey, Yorkshire. At 9.20 on the morning of the 29th May, 1962, when several fishing cobles were at sea, the honorary secretary asked the coastguard about the weather prospects as conditions seemed to be growing rapidly worse. The weather forecast was not good, and at ten o'clock the life-boat The Isa & Penryn Mils ted was launched.

There was a strong to gale force wind blowing from the north-west and a rough sea. The tide was half ebb. The life-boat escorted four cobles safely ashore and then went in search of a fifth coble, the Margaret and James, which was not in the area in which the crews of the other cobles believed her to be. The coastguard asked for air assistance, and a helicopter and another aircraft were sent to help. The Margaret and James was eventually found eastnorth- east of Filey Brigg by the lifeboat, which escorted her safely ashore.

The life-boat finally reached her station at three o'clock in the afternoon..
