Early on the morning of the 25th April a tele- phone message was received from the postmistress at Machrihanish that a steamer was sounding her siren and sending up rockets about four miles south of Machrinhanish. A strong S.E. breeze was blowing with a moder- ate sea, and the weather was thick.

The motor life-boat City of Glasgow was launched at 5.35 A.M., and found the steam trawler Sulby, of Fleetwood, aground in Inian Bay. She carried a crew of eleven. She was in no immed- iate danger, but her master asked the life-boat to stand by while another trawler tried to tow her off. Later the life-boat ran out a kedge anchor from the Sulby and she eventually refloated at 2.30 P.M. and went on her way.

The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving back at 6.10 P.M. She had been on service for nearly thirteen hours.—Property Salvage Case..
