At 10.27 a-m- on 24tri April, 1967, it was reported that a dinghy was in difficulties off the pier. The outboard motor was out of action and the dinghy was drifting out to sea. The life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse slipped her moorings at 10.43 in a light north northwesterly wind and a slight sea. It was three hours after high water. She proceeded towards the position given and on her arrival took over the tow of the dinghy from the harbour launch which had arrived on the scene first. The lifeboat towed the dinghy to Mutton Cove.

She returned to her station at 12.35 p.m..
