She found the Freda three miles E.N.E. of Whitby, with her crew of three pumping and baling to keep her afloat. The life-boat kept on the weather side of the coble to protect her from the seas, and thus escorted the coble got safely into harbour at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. - Rewards, £4 19s. 6d..
