1909:

Gloucester, Mass., a launch became disabled 3/4 mile southeast of the station.  Surfmen manned the power lifeboat and started to assist.  On the trip out a schooner was discovered anchored in a dangerous berth 1 3/4 miles SE of the station.  A surfman was placed aboard the launch to repair the motor while the lifeboat proceeded to the schooner.  Surfmen put a towline on the schooner, and, with her sails drawing, she was towed into a safe anchorage.
