Teesmouth, Yorkshire - At about 5.36 p.m. on 28th May, 1966, the coastguard sighted a small fishing boat being blown out to sea with three people on board. Her engine had failed and she had neither oars nor anchor. In the absence of the honorary secretary, who was at South Gare with the second coxswain, the coastguard fired the maroons.

The second coxswain went out in his boat with one of the life-boat launchers on board and managed to get a line to the fishing boat Minni. He started towing her to Paddy's Hole. The crew of the life-boat, Sarah Jane and James Season, who had assembled at the boathouse, noticed that little progress was being made with the tow. The life-boat was launched at 6.15 in a strong south westerly wind and a moderate sea. It was high water. She assisted in towing the casualty to safety and returned to her station, arriving at 7.5..
