Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.—On the morning of the 30th January the coastguard reported that a fishing boat was making for the harbour, and that as there was a heavy swell running at the harbour mouth, and the boat was a stranger, it would be dangerous for her to try to get in.

The wind was only light, from the south-west, but the sea was very heavy.

The motor life-boat Lady Rothes was launched at 11.35 A.M., and warned the boat—the Acquire, of Inverness— to run farther south to Peterhead, where she would probably find quieter water. She saw her safely on the way, and returned to harbour at 12.15 P.M. Owing to the rough sea, she could not be rehoused until the following day.—Rewards, £9 3s. 6d..
