Early on the morning of the 28th September a converted ship's life-boat, with four men on board, went ashore on the training bank. A moderate S.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. A pilot boat put off to her, but the men asked for the life-boat to stand by. The pilot boat returned, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Harmar was launched at 4 A.M. The men did not want to be taken off, but asked the life-boat coxswain to stand by. The boat floated off on the rising tide and the life-boat towed her in to Poole.

The life-boat returned to her station at 7.30 A.M.—Rewards, £14 18*. 6d..
