On the 14th-15th February, shortly after mid- night, the Coastguard reported that a vessel was ashore near the Sutton Coastguard station, on the north side of Dublin Bay, and with all haste the No. 2 Life-boat Dunleary was sent to her assistance. There was a strong S.

to W.S.W. gale at the time, and the sea was rough. On reaching the vessel, which was the schooner Truthseeker, of Runcorn, bound for Dublin, the crew declined to leave their vessel and stated that they did not require any help.

The Life-boat then stood by her until morning, in case their services should be required, but the wind having then moderated, and the schooner being high and dry the Life-boat returned to Kingstown..
