During the afternoon of the 31st December two of the local fishing cobles were at sea, and as a moderate S.E. gale was blowing with a rough sea, it was decided to send out the No. 1 Pulling and Sailing Life- boat Forester. She was launched at 2 P.M., and found the cobles about four miles offshore in very bad positions.

Both cobles were escorted into safety and the Life-boat returned to her Station at 5 P.M.—Rewards, £18 11s.
