On the evening of the 23rd March a telephone message was received from Wick coastguard that the steamer Cairn Glen, of New- castle, was ashore at Huna. She was bound with a general cargo to New- castle, from Halifax. The motor life- boat Thomas McCunn was launched at 6.50 P.M., in a moderate south wind.

The sea was smooth. She stood by the Cairn Glen until 11.30 P.M., and then, as the master said that he did not need her any longer, made for home. She reached her station at 1 A.M. on the 24th. The Cairn Glen was eventually refloated, after part of her cargo had been discharged, and towed into Long- hope.—Rewards, £14 18s. 6d..
