Violet
On the afternoon of the 6th November the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat which had been seen about two miles N.N.E. of Kinnaird Head had disappeared in a squall. A moderate to strong N.N.E. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea and sleet. As the motor life-boat Lady Rothes was being launched at 3.10 P.M. a further message was received that the boat could be seen making her way south under very heavy weather. The life- boat met the boat, which was the Violet, of Fraserburgh, with a crew of five, and escorted her into harbour, keeping on the weather side to save her from the force of the sea. The life-boat returned to her station at 4 P.M. — Rewards, £7 16s. 6d..
