1909:

Pamet River, MA- The sloop Stranger was anchored 3/4 mile SE of station.  The Life-saving crew boarded her from a surfboat.  The 2 men on board wished to be taken ashore, as their sails were poor and they had no provisions.  They made the sloop more secure by running out second anchor and landed the men.  In the morning they helped get sloop underway.
