—When returning home, laden, from the Norwegian fishing grounds, the Aberdeen trawler Abergeldie stranded on the south end of Goswick Sands on 22nd March. Information of her plight was received- from the Coastguard and the Motor Life-boat Westmorland was launched at 5.35 A.M. A moderate southerly breeze was blowing, with rain.

The Life-boat found that her help was not needed, as the trawler was high and dry and in no immediate danger. The Life-boat returned and then put out again at 9.15 A.M. in case her help was needed, but she had to return to her Station again at 2.30 P.M., owing to machinery trouble. — Rewards, £10 19s. 9d..
