Inverclyde
Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.—On the 15th September the Kinnaird Head coastguard reported a vessel ashore on Cairnbulg Briggs making signals of distress.
The weather was very thick, the sea calm and the wind easterly. At 2 P.M. the motor life-boat Lady Rothes put out. She found the steam trawler Inverclyde, of Granton, ashore near the beacon, with a crew of ten on board.
They declined to leave, and as they were in no immediate danger, the lifeboat returned ashore at 3.30 P.M. At 11.30 P.M. the life-boat went out again, taking insurance surveyors, and as it was deemed advisable for the crew to leave, they were landed by the life-boat at 2A.M. At 11.30A.M. on the 16th the life-boat went to the Inverclyde for the third time. This time she took the crew back to their vessel, which was refloated at 2.50 P.M. by a tug and brought into Fraserburgh Harbour, accompanied by the life-boat.—Rewards, £5 3s.; and Property Salvage Case..
