The Motor Fishing Coble Sheila

DECEMBER 6TH. - FILEY, YORKSHIRE.

During the afternoon the local motor fishing coble Sheila became overdue. A northwesterly breeze was blowing and the sea was calm, but it was thought advisable for the motor life-boat to put out before dark and The Cuttle was launched at 2.35. She found the Sheila with her engine broken down, a mile east of Speeton coastguard station. She had a crew of three. The life-boat towed her in and arrived back at her station at 4.15. - Rewards, £12 1s. 6d..
