THIRD COBLE HELPED At 1.30 p.m. on 19th June, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that two fishing cobles had returned from fishing because of rapidly deteriorating weather. The tide was one hour past high water. A fresh north-easterly breeze accompanied by heavy squalls and rough seas caused the coastguard some concern as to the safety of a third fishing coble which had not yet returned. At 1.38 the life-boat Richard Ashley was launched, and contact was made with the third coble at 3 p.m. The coble was escorted to safety and the life-boat reached her station at 6.20..
