The Life-boat on this station was replaced by a new boat in /September 1872. The boat thus super- seded rendered its last service on the 26th August, on which day it put off and saved the crew of 9 men from the fishing- lugger New Button, of Great Yarmouth, which had been suddenly overtaken by a heavy gale from the N.N.E. while at anchor in Scarborough Bay, and which was in imminent peril, she being on a lee-shore with the sea breaking heavily over her. The master refused at that time to leave the vessel, but the next morning there was a change in the wind, snA the lugger having held to her anchors, the Liferboat proceeded agaiu to her, no other boat being able to venture off, and some of the boat's crew having gone on board the lugger, she was brought safely into harbour in company with the Life- boat..
