The Life- boat, Ulinor Roget, was launched at 4.30 A.M. on the 9th February, in re- sponse to signals from the s.s. Peruuiana, of West Hartlepool.

On arrival at the vessel, it transpired that the rudder had been damaged, and she had anchored off Baggy Point the previous afternoon in a helpless state.

The weather was very bad, a strong N.N.W. gale blowing with a rough sea.

Whilst waiting for assistance to come to her, she commenced to drag her anchors, and in the early morning the Captain considered it prudent to sum- mon the Life-boat in case she should be needed. At the request of the Captain, the Life-boat stood by him until tugs came upon the scene, and then, her services being no longer required, she returned ashore.

The behaviour of the crew during this service was spoken of in the highest terms, they having had a very trying time. The weather was piercingly cold, and the heavy seas dashed over the Life-boat, wetting the men through, and in this condition they were exposed for upwards of five hours to the fury of the gale..
