PETERHEAD, N.B.—On the 31st August the boats prosecuting the herring fishing at Peterhead proceeded to sea. During the night a strong breeze sprang up from the N.E. and raised a heavy sea, and the boats ran for the harbour. About 11 o'clock on the following morning the Lifeboat People's Journal, No. 1, was launched and proceeded to a short distance from the mouth of the North Harbour, and remained there to give advice to the crews of the boats coming in, and to render assistance if necessary. At about half-past twelve the fishing-boat Bon Accord, of Portknockie, with six men on board, was making for the North Harbour, and was about forty yards from its mouth, when a sea struck her on the starboard quarter and drove her on the rocks at the back of Port Henry Pier. The Life-boat immediately proceeded to her assistance; but the crew refused to leave her. The Lifeboat took a hawser ashore from her to endeavour to pull her off, and then returned to her previous position outsidethe harbour. Shortly afterwards a signal was made by some of the crew on board the fishing-boat, and the Life-boat again went to her and took three of the crew ashore. When the tide rose the fishingboat floated, and was hauled round the pier into the harbour..
