Fishing Cobles (1)

JUNE 12TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning a moderate north-east wind was blowing, with rough breaking seas at the harbour entrance. This made it very dangerous for small vessels to enter. At 11.50 the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched to meet seven small cobles returning from fishing. She escorted them into harbour and returned to her station at 4.45 P.M. - Rewards, £4 16s. 6d..
