At 1.15 P.M. on the 8th September the coastguard telephoned that a message had been received from the Point of Ayre light- house that the yacht Faustina, of Fleetwood, with four men on board, was in distress off Port Cranstal, and wanted immediate help. She had no sails and her engine had broken down.

A strong S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, when the motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched at 1.25 P.M. She found the Faustona very close to the shore, in broken water, passed her a line, and towed her to an anchorage off Ramsey. One of the Faustona's men was injured, so the life-boat took him ashore; she then returned to the yacht and towed her into the safety of the harbour.

She returned to her station at 6 P.M.
