During a moderate S.W. gale with a rough sea on the 7th August, a steam-tug reported at about 9 P.M. that a vessel was ashore on Taylors Bank. The crew of the steam Life-boat Queen were assembled, and the boat proceeded to the position indicated. On arrival she found the schooner Problem of Connah's Quay at anchor in dangerous proximity to the sand, although not actually ashore, and as the sea was heavy the three men on board were rescued. The Life-boat then returned to New Brighton, arriving at 11.30 P.M..
