Longhope, Orkney.—At about 9.20A.M. on the 1st July information was received by telephone from Torness that a trawler was ashore. A moderate easterly wind was blowing. The sea was smooth, but there was a dense fog.

The motor life-boat Thomas McCunn put out at 9.25 A.M. and found the outward bound steam trawler New Choice, of Granton, ashore. She had on board a crew of ten and one passenger. At the request of the captain the life-boat stood by. A kedge anchor was laid out at slack water, and at high water the trawler refloated. She made for Aberdeen and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 9 P.M. The lifeboat crew made a donation to the Institution out of the award received for salvage services.—Property Salvage Case..
