Campbeltown, Argyllshire. — At 10 A.M. on the 24th January, during a strong S.E. gale with a very rough sea, the s.s. Rustoer, of Glasgow, was dragging her anchor and drifting off the pier. Only the captain and a boy were aboard her. The other three members of the crew had come ashore the night before and, owing to the rough seas, had not been able to get back to the steamer. It was also reported that the s.s. Challenger, of Glasgow, farther down the loch, was dragging her anchors, with no one on board. She was in no immediate danger, but the Rustoer was. The motor life-boat City of Glasgow was launched at 10.19 A.M., and put the men aboard the Rustoer.

She was then ashore, but with her full crew got off unaided. The life-boat escorted her to a safe anchorage, and also put the Challenger's crew of five on board.—Rewards, £6 17s. 6d..
