During a moderate N.E. gale, with a rough sea and snow showers, on the morning of 31st March, the Mechanic of the Motor Life-boat R.N.L.B. 684 RM. saw the steam trawler Eamont, of Fleetwood, which was bound from the fishing grounds to Castlebay, strike a sub- merged rock outside the harbour. The Life-boat was launched at 10.5 A.M. and was asked by the trawler to take a sick man ashore. This was done. The Life- boat then put out again and stood by until the trawler refloated. She re- turned to her Station at 1.30 P.M.— Rewards, £5 14s..
