on 25th January, 1966, the honorary secretary was informed that four motor fishing vessels. Wayside Flower, Energy, Betty and Winifred were fishing in bad weather. The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II, was launched at 2.30 in an east south easterly gale force wind and a very rough sea. It was four hours to high water. The life-boat proceeded to the harbour mouth, where two of the four vessels were already waiting for the other two and then escorted all four of them safely back into harbour, returning at 5.30..
