At 5.30 P.M. on the 26fch November, it was reported that a signal of distress had been seen about two miles N.N.E.

from Scoughall, and the Life-boat Norman Clarke was launched. They found the ketch Triumph, of Jersey, in a leaking condition, with all her canvas blown away, and, after standing by the vessel for about an hour, rescued the three men then on board. At the time of this service a whole S.W. gale was blowing with a heavy sea, and as it would have necessitated a long beat back to reach North Berwick, the Cox- swain decided to run for Dunbar.

Dunbar was reached at 10.30 P.M., and the crew remained there for the night and took the boat back to her station next day..
