On the morning of the 20th June the coast- guard reported that a small local fishing boat, the Isabella and Nina, with one man on board, was fishing south of Dundonnie Head, and as a strong gale was blowing from the north, and the sea was very rough, it was decided to launch the motor life-boat Duke of Connaught. She got away at 11.15 A.M.

and found the Isabella and Nina about three miles S. by E. from Buchan Ness.

The occupant was in an exhausted condition and quite unable to manage his boat. Two life-boatmen were trans- ferred to her and she was towed back to Peterhead. The lifeboat arrived back at her station at 1.15 P.M.— Rewards, £5 10s. 6d..
