On the 2nd October the Life-boat was again called out for service, a vessel being reported in distress near the Crosby light-vessel. The boat proceeded through a very heavy sea, the wind blowing strong gale from W.N.W., and on her way found the schooner The Cousins, of Beaumaris. She had been run aground about three-quarters of a mile from the shore, as she was sinking. Her crew of two men were taken into the Life-boat, and immediately afterwards the vessel's masts fell. The Life-boat then went to the other vessel, which had lost her sails.

She did not, however, require the help of the Life-boat, but was towed to Liverpool by a steam-tug..
