Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—On the morning of the 8th September the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was ashore at Dundonnie Head, about one mile south of Buchan-ness lighthouse.

A moderate south gale was blowing, with a heavy sea, and rain was falling.

The motor life-boat Duke of Connaught was launched at 11.20 A.M., and found the Grimsby steam trawler Dagon high up on the rocks, close to the cliffs. She carried a crew of eleven, and was on her way to the fishing grounds. The life-saving apparatus company had arrived, and it was thought wiser for the apparatus to get the men off, as the life-boat could only approach the Dagon with great difficulty and danger.

The life-boat stood by until all the men were landed, and returned to her station at 2.30 P.M.—Rewards, £5 10s. 6d..
