On the morning of the 21st October three young men left harbour in a rowing boat.

The weather was squally and the boat soon became unmanageable. The wind strengthened until it was blowing a moderate gale from the south-west, the sea became rough, and the boat was carried rapidly out to sea. She was seen by the coastguard, and the motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan put out to her help at 1.15 P.M. She came up with the boat about three miles south-east of the harbour, rescued the three men, and towed the boat back to safety. She returned to her station at 2.5 P.M.—Rewards, £6 17s. 6d..
