On the 20th October the coastguard saw flares for help from the sailing smack Challenger, of Lowestoft, which, with a crew of four on board, was aground on the bank at the end of the north extension, and at 6.38 P.M. the motor life-boat Agnes Cross put out. A strong northerly breeze was blowing, with a very heavy sea. The life-boat found that the Board of Trade life-saving apparatus had already got a line across the smack. Without dropping anchor the life-boat manoeuvred alongside and got a wire attached. Then she towed the Challenger and her crew to harbour.
