COBLES ESCORTED Flamborough, Yorkshire. At midday on 4th February, 1964, soon after the life-boat had returned from an exercise with the district inspector, the honorary secretary was informed by the coastguard that the Filey honorary secretary was concerned about five fishing cobles which were still at sea in the deteriorating weather conditions. As the life-boat had not been rehoused it was agreed that she would launch and escort the cobles to Filey. There was a near gale from the north-west with a rough sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat Friendly Forester proceeded at 12.10, located the cobles and escorted them safely back to Filey harbour.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 3.50..
