At 5.35 the life-boat George and Elizabeth Gow, on temporary duty at the station, was launched and 15 minutes later the fishing vessel Thomas Sinclair was found. She was escorted safely back into harbour, which she reached at 6.10 and where the life-boat was also moored until the weather cleared. She was rehoused the following day..
