The Motor Coble Jean and Barbara

MARCH 1ST. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

During the morning, while the fishing cobles were out, the wind increased until it was blowing strongly from the north-west, with a rising sea. All the cobles returned - many leaving their lines - with the exception of the motor coble Jean and Barbara. The motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched at 12.10, escorted the coble into harbour, and returned to her station at 1.45. - Rewards, £12 7s.
