— On the 6th March during a strong S.W.

gale Coxswain J. Cameron, of the new motor Life-boat Alexander Tullocli, observed a small fishing-boat in a perilous position about four miles to the north of Peterhead. Her sails had been blown away, and a very heavy sea was running. As he realized that the boat was practically unmanageable and unable to get into port, he launched the boat and proceeded with all speed to the help of the fishermen. Fortunately the Life-boat reached the fishing-boat in time to save her and the three men on board, and there is little doubt that if the assistance had been delayed both the boat and her occupants would have been lost..
