Dresden on temporary duty at the station set out in thick fog at 11.15 in a light south-westerly breeze and a heavy swell. It was high water. The life-boat found the yacht Squibb with a crew of two, still afloat but in a dangerous position, and took her in tow to Port St. Mary.

The life-boat returned to her moorings at 2.45 a.m. on the I3th June..
