The Life-boat and steam-tug also proceeded out at 6.15 A.M. on the 13th November to the aid of the barque Mina, of Kalmar, Sweden, bound from Shields to St. Vincent with coal, which had gone ashore on the Brake Sand during a fresh E.S.E. wind and a somewhat heavy sea.

On arriving near the vessel the Life-boat was slipped, and proceeded alongside.

Four of her crew went on board to try to save the vessel, but they were unable to do so as she was striking heavily on the sand, and was filling with water. The crew of ten men were then taken intothe Life-boat and brought safely to Bainsgate..
