Sangarius

Buckie, Banffshire.—On the afternoon of the 26th January the steam trawler Sangarius, of Aberdeen, signalled to the coastguard for a doctor. A gale was blowing from the S.E., with a heavy swell and snow. At 3.15 P.M.

the motor life-boat K.B.M. put out with two doctors, who boarded the trawler and attended to an injured man. The doctors and their patient were then brought ashore by the lifeboat, which got back at 3.45 P.M.

While going out to the trawler one of the life-boat's crew injured a knee and was attended by the doctors. The life-boat was moored on her return and rehoused at 10 P.M.—Rewards, £8 Is. 6d..
