Corlett was on exercise, information was received that the coaster Middledale H. had run aground off Langton dock. She had a line ashore and was waiting for the flood tide. The lifeboat immediately proceeded to the vessel and stood by until high water. A line was passed to the coaster and the life-boat towed her clear. The vessel was moored alongside the river wall and the life-boat then returned to her station, reaching it at 12.30 p.m..
