On the 29th June at 10.2 A.M. the coxswain reported that the local cobles were in danger off St. Paul's Point, as the sea was making and the wind rising. The weather was fine but a strong north- easterly breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. It was decided to launch the pulling and sailing life-boat Arthur R. Dawes and she left at 10.13 A.M.

Four cobles were out but one got in as the life-boat was being launched. The other three were escorted into safety by the life-boat, which then returned to her station and was re-housed at 12.23 P.M.--Rewards, £7 9*..
