Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—The Aberdeen trawler Confederate stranded on the Scaurs of Cruden, about nine miles south of Peterhead on the morning of the 16th January. On receipt of the news from the coastguard, the motor life-boat Duke of Connaught was launched at 6.53 A.M. She found that another trawler had a wire rope on board. The coxswain gave advice and the Confederate was got off. She was found to be leaking rapidly in the forepeak, and as a precaution, the life-boat escorted her to Aberdeen, which was reached at 10.20 A.M. The life-boat reached her station again at 2.10 P.M.— Rewards, £12 15s. 3d..
