Grace would even join her father when he went out in the boat and she took her turn watching the sea, day and night, from the top of the lighthouse. By 11pm the following night the boilers had failed completely, forcing Captain Humble to stop the engines. The Forfarshire began to drift, buffeted by the ferocious gale-force winds that had begun to blow. The Captain decided to turn back and seek shelter near Farne Islands, powered only by a makeshift sail.
The storm was getting worse and the pitch black night, tempestuous seas and downpour of rain made it increasingly difficult to navigate. Eventually the Captain saw a light, which he believed to be the lighthouse of Inner Farne, and headed towards it. In reality, he was drifting towards Longstone Lighthouse, unaware of the perilous rocks which surrounded it.
There was no time to call the passengers from their cabins and get them into boats. Within 15 minutes the ship had lurched into the rocks once more, breaking the vessel in two. The front half of the ship became stuck on the rock.
The back half was swept away by the sea, and sank with more than 48 people onboard. Grace saw the wreck from her bedroom window at 4. In terrible weather, Grace Darling and her father William decided to row out and rescue the survivors.
