During the afternoon of the 8th August, the Trawler No. 89, of Liverpool, stranded on Taylor's Bank. Towards sunset it was seen that the wind was backing and likely to increase; it was therefore thought advisable to send the Life-boat John andJIenrietta in case of danger. She was accordingly launched shortly before 10 P.M. and proceeded to the trawler, which was found to be rolling and bumping heavily on the flowing tide.

Eventually the vessel floated, and on learning that she was not in need of further assistance the Life-boat returned to her station..
