The life-boat went to fetch one and met one coming out to the steamer.

The life-boat stood by and after two hawsers had parted she was asked to help to get the Brilliant in tow. This she did. A third time the hawser parted, when the Brilliant was only about 300 yards from the shore, but eventually the tug got her safely into Brixham harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.10 A.M.-Property Salvage Case..
