The Good Hope had rescued the crew of the Comet, which had sunk but the Good Hope was also making water. The Lifeboat City of Edinburgh, was launched at 7.15 in a light easterly breeze with fog and a slight swell. It was one hour after low water. The life-boat met the Good Hope two miles from the harbour and escorted her safely to Wick. She reached her station at 11.30 a.m..
