On the following day a very severe »ale was experienced here, the wind blowing with hurricane force from the N.N.W. and the sea being very heavy.

The Thomas Fielden Life-boat was called out five times. On three occasions no service was rendered. At 2.45 P.M. the boat went out the fourth time, a signal of distress having been shown by the brigantine Henry Harvey, of Hayle, which was at anchor in the outer roads. When about half way to her, the signal was hauled down, but the boat went alongside her and brought ashore the master's wife and a boy. Having landed them, the boat again went out, signals having been shown by the schooner Rebecca, which was also lying at anchor in the outer roads, and brought ashore her crew of four men who feared that the cables would part and their vessel be driven ashore. While on their way out the Life-boat men saw that the Henry Harvey was again showing signals of distress.

Having taken off the crew of the Rebecca, the boat went once more to the Henry Harvey and took off her crew of six men who were dreading the breakage of their cables and the possible wreck of the ship..
