About 1.30 P.M.

on the 14th October, the Coxswain, who was near the harbour, saw a fishing boat making for the entrance.

A moderate N.W. gale was blowing with a heavy swell, and the river Girvan, which runs through the harbour was in spate and flowing strongly.

These conditions made the entry into harbour very dangerous and the Motor Life-boat Lily Glen—Glasgow was launched. She came up with the boat —the Duskie Maid—about half a mile out and escorted her over the bar into safe water. When making the crossing the Life-boat was carried on to the North Pier, but was not damaged.

The fishing boat Restango was also at sea and the Life-boat went out again, met her a mile from shore, and escorted her into safety. The Life-boat returned to her Station at 3 P.M.— Rewards, £5 14s..
