Fishing Cobles

JANUARY 29TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning, while thirteen Filey fishing cobles were at sea, a strong N.E.

wind sprang up. All the regular life-boat crew were out fishing, but ex-coxswain R. C. Jenkinson volunteered to take out the life-boat, and collected a scratch crew of fishermen, and at 11.20 A.M. the motor lifeboat The Cuttle was launched. She escorted 13 cobles through very heavy seas, handing out life-belts to two of them, and returned to her station at 2.30 P.M. - Rewards, £11 7s. 6d..
