Shortly after midnight on the 19th March, during very rough weather, the schooner Pioneer, of Peterhead,came into the South Bay and anchored. As it was feared that her anchors might drag, a close watch was kept upon her. At about 5.30 A.M. a signal of distress was seen, and the motor Life-boat Alexander Tulloch proceeded to the vessel and rescued the crew of four hands. By the time the Life-boat reached her the schooner was in broken water and in danger of being driven ashore. A strong S.S.E. gale prevailed at the time..
