palling net the coble through the breech on the
sea-shore, when a heavy swell struck it ; already
deep in the water with the net and number of people
on board, and en alarm of danger Wog given by their
cries and shrieks, an attempt was made to draw the
cable to the shore, but unsoccusfailly, the succeeding
