Memoranda by Skipper.

February 25 smack Lottie Burton at 2pm whilst fishing about 150 miles west from spurn. Hull smack ( unable to make out the name.) came along straight along us only a vessels length from us we showed him 3 signals . But got no answer he had no light up but ours was burning bright. He came that close that I thought it impossible to avoid a collision without cutting away at the same time. Blowing away saile brease . Losing gear.
