At 6.10 P.M. on the 26th October, during a strong S.S.E. breeze and rough sea, signals were made from the Spanish Battery calling out the motor Life-boat Henry Vernon. The boat proceeded without loss of time and found the German steamer Auguste, of Hamburg, in danger of stranding on the Black Middens. The Life-boat stood by the schooner until tugs succeeded in effecting communication, and towed her into safety. The boat then returned to her moorings, arriving at 3.15 P.M. The Life-boat is reported to have behaved well..
