JUNE 13TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning a light northerly breeze was blowing, but there was a strong swell breaking about four hundred yards outside the harbour entrance, and a fishing coble, attempting to make the harbour, shipped a nasty sea and nearly foundered. Several other cobles could be seen returning, and at 1.15 P.M. the No. 2 pulling and sailing life-boat Jacob and Rachael Vallentine was launched to escort the cobles into harbour. She met the cobles Silver Line, Rosamund, Cutty Sark and Brighter Hope, and as it was low water, she stood by them in the roadstead until there was sufficient water to enter harbour.

Then she escorted them in and returned to her station at 3 P.M. - Rewards, £8 5s. 6d..
