At 4.15 A.M. on 24th November a telephone message was- received stating that a trawler was ashore in Hawick Bay.

The Life-boat Arthur B. Dawes pro- ceeded to her, and by request took off one of the crew, but the remainder elected to remain on board. The vessel was the steam trawler Wild Rose, of North Shields, returning to port from the fishing grounds. Shortly after tho boat returned, she was again called out to another vessel, but her services were fortunately not required..
