The Motor Fishing Coble Silver Line

AUGUST 28TH. - WHITBY, YORKSHIRE.

The local motor fishing coble Silver Line, with a crew of four, was at sea in a strong east-north-east wind, with a rough sea and rain. As the weather grew worse she was in danger of being swamped. The motor lifeboat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 4.55 in the afternoon and found the coble three miles to the north-north-east. She escorted her in, arriving at 5.45. - Rewards, £6 6s..
