FISHING COBLE AT SEA At 11.15 a-m- on 3otn October, 1963, the coxswain informed the honorary secretary that the local fishing coble Pilot Me was at sea in very bad weather, and the coxswain thought that she would have difficulty in returning ashore. The lifeboat The ha & Penryn Milsted was launched at 11.40 in a moderate to strong south-easterly breeze and a rough sea. It was two hours before high water. The lifeboat found the fishing coble north-east of Filey Brigg, picking up the last of her lines. She was escorted back to Filey.

Because of the high tide and heavy seas it was not possible for the life-boat to be rehoused until five o'clock..
