During a dense fog on the 3rd December signals of distress were heard, and the Life-boat, in tow of a Motor-boat, proceeded to the Inner Binks, where she found the steamer Freidiy in danger of stranding, after having been on the sands and refloated.

The Life-boat Coxswain advised the captain as to the best way to get his vessel out of her dangerous position, and, with the assistance given, the vessel was able to get into safety and proceeded on her voyage..
