OCTOBER 24TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

At 9.15 in the morning, the coastguard reported that the local motor fishing coble Jean and Barbara was at sea and anxiety was felt for her. A south-south-east gale was blowing, increasing in strength, and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat The Cuttle was launched at 9.25, found the coble behind Filey Brig and escorted her into the harbour.

She returned to her station at 11.15.- Rewards, £12 9s..
