About 10 A.M. on the 26th September, a N.E. breeze increased to gale force, causing the sea to break heavily at the harbour entrance, and making it very dangerous to cross the bar. As the motor fishing boats Enterprise, Rosa, Comfort and Provider were still at sea it was thought advisable to send out a Life-boat, and the No. 1 Motor Life-boat John Russell was launched at 11 A.M. She stayed at the harbour bar until all the boats had got in safely and then returned to her Station, arriving back at 12.30 P.M.— Rewards, £6 4s..
