Fifteen motor cobles went out fishing at 7 A.M. on the 27th October in fine weather. By 9.30 A.M. a storm was coming up and the sea was growing rough. At 10.5 A.M. conditions were so bad that the pulling and sailing life-boat Hollon the Third was launched. Three cobles which had broken down with engine trouble were towed in by other motor cobles and the life-boat stood by until all cobles were beached. She returned to her station at 12.15 P.M.

In the absence of the coxswain, the second coxswain and bowman, Tom Lewis, a member of the crew, took charge of the life-boat. During the service one of the crew was struck in the face by a block and had to receive medical attention on returning ashore.
