— On the morning of the 5th August the Lo westof t steam drifter Scadaun was returning to port during a thick fog when she struck a submerged rock outside Castlebay harbour. The motor life-boat Lloyd's was launched at 11.30 A.M. in response to calls for help from the drifter's siren, and found her in a dangerous position.

She had been able to launch her boat, and to this she transferred her gear while the life-boat remained standing by. The drifter became a total wreck.

The life-boat then put further out to sea to see if any other vessels needed help in the fog, but found none and re- turned to her station at 1.30 P.M.— Rewards, £4 7s. 6d..
