Jean and Barbara

AUGUST 6TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

Bad weather came on after the fishing boat Jean and Barbara had left harbour. There was a strong north-west wind and very heavy seas, and at 10.5 in the morning the motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched. Heavy seas broke over her. She found the Jean and Barbara, passed life-belts to her three men to wear coming round Filey Brig, and escorted her in. She reached her station again at noon. - Rewards, £8 12s..
