On the morning of 8th April messages were received from the Coastguard and Police that a fishing boat was in distress in the Rock Channel. The No. 1 Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Anne Miles left her moorings at 11.45 A.M. in a moderate N.W. gale, with a rough sea, and was taken in tow by a tug that happened to be passing. After being towed for about half an hour the Life-boat was recalled by the Coastguard, who signalled that the two occupants of the fishing boat had been rescued by a shore boat. She arrived back at her Station at 1.20 P.M.
