Stromness, Orkney.—On the 24th June the steam trawler Braemar, of Aberdeen, homeward bound from fishing, ran ashore on the north side of Birsay in a thick fog. A moderate N.

breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. News was telephoned to the lifeboat station, and the motor life-boat J.J.K.S.W. was launched at 6.10 A.M.

She ran out two anchors for the trawler and stood by her until after high water.

All attempts to refloat the trawler failed, and, as the crew decided to remain on board, and they were in no danger, the life-boat made for home.

She arrived at her station at 5.30 P.M.— Property Salvage Case..
