On the 30th October the services of this life-boat were again called into requisition.

The Norwegian barque Tamworth having grounded on the Trunk Hill Bank, 3 miles from the shore, the wind blowing a perfect hurricane at the time, the Southport life-boat put off to the aid of her crew, and after a hard pull of 2£ hours, she took them all on board, 17 in number, and landed them at Southport. The barque afterwards became a total wreck. The boat behaved remarkably well on the occasion.
