Fishing Boats (6)
BUCKIE, BANFFSHIRE.—A strong pale sprung up from the N.E. on the 27th February, accompanied by a heavy sea which broke right across the entrance to Cluny harbour. A fishing-lugger, whilst coming in, was struck by one of the heavy seas and nearly driven to the back of the west pierhead and as two other luggers were seen making for the harbour, and the whole of the fishing fleet were at sea, it was considered desirable to have the Life-boat James Sharpe launched, in readiness to render any help that might be required. The boat put off at 5 P.M., and remained at the entrance of the harbour until all the fishing-boats were in safety..
