Mary J. Masson

The steam drifter Mary J. Masson, of Fraserburgh, stranded in thick weather on the Bondicar Rocks while homeward bound from Yarmouth, where she had been for the herring fishing, and the Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Mary Andrew was launched at 8.25 P.M. in a moderate S.E. gale to her help. The vessel had struck in a dangerous posi- tion, but fortunately got off early the following morning. The Life-boat stood by all night, and returned to her Station again at 4.30 next morning.—Rewards, £40 12s. Qd..
