— On the morning of the llth January a man was injured on board the local fishing boat Gloamin'. There was not suffi- cient water for the boat to get into harbour and she made distress signals.

The crew of the motor life-boat Stan- hope Smart were assembled, but before the life-boat was launched another fishing boat put out and landed the injured man. Later on the wind in- creased to a gale from the S.S.E., and the sea broke heavily across the harbour bar. Several fishing boats were at sea and the life-boat was launched at 2.17 P.M. She escorted in the boats Maggie, Protect Me II, Excelsior and Victory, and returned to her station at 3.45 P.M.—Rewards, £11 2s. (See also under Shoreboat Services, page 273.).
