JAN. 2ND. - FLAMBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning it was reported that one of the local motor fishing cobles was at sea. A N.E. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea and squalls of sleet. The motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched at 10.50 A.M., and found the coble, the Pioneer, with a crew of three, about one and a half miles north of North Landing.

She had just cut away from her gear. The life-boat went alongside and life-belts were thrown to the fishermen. She then escorted her in. The life-boat returned to her station at noon.-Rewards, £15 13s.
