About 3 P.M. on the 23rd May information was received that a steam-drifter was ashore on Braga Skerry. The crew of the Life-boat Good Shepherd were promptly summoned and the boat sent to their assistance. On arrival at the vessel, which proved to be the Sonnet, of Wick, it was found that she was on the rocks and that three men were on her, the remainder, five in number, having already been rescued by another drifter. The sea at the time was fairly smooth, but as the tide made it became rough and washed the drifter over the rocks, where she sunk in deep water..
