The Fishing Cobles

APRIL 27TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE. As a strong north-west wind had suddenly sprung up, raising a rough sea, the motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched at 12.20 in the afternoon to escort the fishing cobles to harbour.

Some of them were a long way out and some had to leave their gear, but all had reached safety, escorted by the life-boat, by 4.40 that afternoon. - Rewards, £8 12s..
