Bridlington, Yorkshire - At 2.35 p.m. on 14th August, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that four cobles, one of which had 25 passengers on board, were still at sea in rapidly deteriorating weather conditions.

The life-boat TWe Morrison (Sheffield II) was launched at 2.42 in a strong south south easterly breeze and a rough sea.

The tide was flooding. The life-boat proceeded to the harbour mouth and found the coble Emmanuel and escorted her into the harbour. The life-boat then proceeded towards the North Smithic buoy, the last reported position of the remaining cobles. The keel-boat Liberty advised the life-boat crew that the two cobles were off South landing. Near Banks Dyke the life-boat came up with the Cobles Margaret Anne and Kate and Videt. The cobles were escorted into harbour and the life-boat returned to her station at 5.20..
