At daybreak on the morning of the 28th October, a vessel was seen stranded amongst the breakers about a mile to the eastward of this port.

The Lossiemouth life-boat was at once launched and pulled through a very heavy sea to the rescue of the crew. While mak- ing for the wreck, some of the life-boat's crew were washed overboard more than once, owing to the heavy sea on at the time, and the men became so exhausted that they could not pull the boat alongside the vessel.

They thereupon returned to the shore, when a fresh crew were shipped, who, after great exertions, succeeded in getting the life-boat alongside, and taking off' the vessel's crew of 3 men. She proved to be the schooner Agnes, bound from Thurso to Lossiemouth, with a cargo of stone..
