PETERHEA.D. — The steam trawler Boslin, of Aberdeen, returning home with several boxes of fish, stranded at Scotston Head in a moderate W.N.W.

breeze, a heavy sea and thick weather, about midnight on the 13th February.

In response to her signals of distress the Life-boat George Pickard proceeded to her assistance and found her full of water. Communication with the vessel had been obtained with the rocket apparatus, and her small boat was lying alongside, but the sea was so heavy that the crew were afraid to avail themselves of either of those means of leaving the steamer, and on seeing the Life-boat approaching called to the Coxswain to come alongside and take them off. The men, nine in number, got into the Lifeboat and were safely landed at 4.40 A.M..
