Informa- tion having been received on the llth October that a vessel was ashore on the West Hoyle Bank, steps were taken to verify it, and at 5.35 P.M. signals were fired for the Life-boat. With all despatch the H. 0. Powell was launched and proceeded to the scene of the casualty. She proved to be the barque Daniel, of Tvedestrand,bound for France, in ballast, and had stranded in the pre- vailing thick weather. As the prospect of re-floating the barque was good, the Life-boat stood by her in case her services might be required, but later, when the vessel came off, it was found that she was not seriously damaged; the Life- boat therefore accompanied her to a safe anchorage and then left for her station..
