On the morning of the 28th September the Ballantrae coastguard reported that a small fish- ing boat off Lendalfoot wanted help.

A moderate W.N.W. breeze was blow- ing, with a moderate sea. The weather was thick, with rain. The motor life- boat Lily Glen—Glasgow was launched at 10.55 A.M., and met the fishing boat—the Peggy Gordon, of Girvan—in Ardwell Bay. She had had engine trouble. As her engine was still not working satisfactorily, the life-boat towed her back to harbour, and returned to her station at 11.45 A.M.—Rewards, £4 7*. 6d..
