Early on the 14th February, three local fishing boats put out to fish off Brims Ness.

At 8 A.M. a sudden N.E. gale broke, with heavy snow and sleet. The sea was very rough. As the boats were on a lee shore it was decided to send out the motor life-boat H.C.J., and she left at 8.13 A.M. Just before she got away two of the boats came into harbour. She found the third, the Marigold, with a crew of five, about a mile to the west of Hoborn Head, making very heavy weather. She stood by and escorted her into safety.

The life-boat returned to her station at 9.15 A.M.—Rewards, £7 12*..
