On the morning of the 30th October a message was received from Kinnaird Head that a small boat between Cairnbulg and Rattray appeared to be in difficulties.

A strong N.N.E. breeze was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and rain. The motor life-boat Lady Rothes was launched at 12.45 P.M. She went about two miles north of Rattray Head and found the local fishing boat Boy George, with a crew of three. As the boat was finding it very difficult to make headway, the life-boat kept on the weather side and shielded her from the oncoming seas. In this way she escorted her safely back to harbour, and returned to her station at 3.45 P.M.
