Through the kindness of Mr. F. J. Farrell of Wellesley Road, 
Great Yarmouth, I am able to add to my notes a few particulars 
copied from the diary of John Ives, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, 
dated 1735 : 
“ Lords day 5 October 1735 the cobels all in with two or 
thre Last apiece. 
“ Monday 6 October 1735 Almost all the cobels in with 
two or thre Last. 
“ Thursday 9 October 1735 Nothing but rain all day 
most of the cobels have reckoned' and some gone. 
“ A duch (Dutch) Galiot came ashore at the havens mouth 
laded with deals. 
“ The cobels made the best fishing that ever was known. 
“ An account what our cobels killed and' the money they 
had home with) them : —
