The Motor j fishing boat Renown left Lerwick at 10 P.M. on 23rd May for the fishing grounds off the Isle of Noss, and as she , had not returned by the afternoon of j the following day, the Motor Life-boat j was sent out at 4.5 P.M. to look for her.

A fresh N.N.E. breeze was blowing with a rough sea and heavy rain. The Life-boat met the Renown off the Bard of Bressay, and found that she was able to make harbour under her own power. She had been delayed by attempts to retrieve lines which had been broken by the heavy weather. The Life-boat arrived back at her moorings at 5.20 P.M.—Rewards, £4 7s. Qd..
