JANUARY 24TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

Four of the Filey motor fishing boats, Peggy, June and Ann, Barbara and Joan, and Joan and Mary, were out fishing. A strong wind got up from the S.E., with a heavy swell, and at 12.25 in the afternoon the motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched to stand by the boats as they came in. The sea was now very rough.

It was breaking on board the life-boat, and the coxswain was at times waist deep in water.

One of the four fishing boats made land, unaided, between Arndale and Filey Brigg.

The life-boat escorted in the other three, giving out life-belts to the crews of two of them. All got in safely, and the life-boat returned to her station at  3.35 P.M - Rewards, £11 7s. 6d.
