On the 1st November the Godsend Lifeboat was launched at about 3 P.M., having been signalled for by the crew of a yawl, which had gone out in the morning to the assistance of the s.s. Ferndale, of Sunderland, stranded on the North Scroby Sand. The weather at the time was thick, the sea was rising, and the wind was rapidly increasing from the E. The Life-boat proceeded in tow to the steamer, which after repeated efforts was got afloat, and was taken to Yarmouth Koads, the boat remaining by her during the night..
