At about 6 A.M.

on llth November a message was received stating that a ship was dragging her anchors in the vicinity of Peterskerry, and required the Life-boat.

The crew of the Life-boat John A. Hay were promptly summoned and the boat launched. The vessel proved to be the full-rigged ship Sorfareren, of Christian- sand, loaded with nickel ore. The master stated that bis anchors had dragged for about two miles, but when the Life-boat arrived they were holding.

At the request of the master the boat stood by for about three hours, when a tug and a trawler came upon the scene, and the Life-boat was able to return to her station..
