COBLES ESCORTED IN NEAR GALE Bridlington, Yorkshire. At 4.30 on the afternoon of the 26th August, 1962, the harbour master told the honorary secretary he felt anxious for the safety of the fishing cobles Kingfisher, Lily and Three Brothers, which had each left harbour that morning with a party on board for a day's fishing off Flamborough Head. The weather had worsened during the day, and at 4.50 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched in a near gale blowing from the south-south-west, a rough sea and an ebbing tide. She made for the north bay, where she met the three cobles. She escorted them all to the harbour and reached her station at 6.30..
