The Hoylake Life-boat was again afloat on service on the 25th September on the occasion of the flat Catharine, of Liver-pool, going ashore about a mile from the Life-boat Station daring a whole gale from the north and a very heavy sea.

When she arrived at the scene of the wreck she found that the crew of two men had been compelled to take to the rigging as the seas were making a complete breach over the vessel; with difficulty they were extricated from their perilous position and brought safely ashore in the Life-boat..
