During a heavy squall, on the 4th October, the fishing- boat Pride, of Pakefield, had her sails blown away, and hoisted a signal for assistance. The Life-boat James Leath was promptly launched, but before she reached the vessel the wind had dropped.

The Life-boat took the boat, which was half full of water, in tow and conveyed her and her crew of two occupants in safety to Lowestoft. Other fishing-boats were afloat at the time, but they got into safety without assistance..
