Thurso, Caithness-shire. — The Grimsby trawler Thomas Thresher, bound for Iceland, put into Scrabster harbour at 9 P.M. on the 2nd April to get medical attention for one of her crew.

She left again at 11.15 P.M. and shortly after rah ashore on Holborn Head. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, and visibility was poor. The Thomas Thresher's signals were seen, and the motor life-boat H.C.J. put out at 12.10 A.M. on the 3rd.

She found that the trawler had refloated, but had gone aground again on Scarf Rock. The life-boat took off nine of the crew, but the captain and four others stayed on board. With the life-boat's help the trawler refloated.

She was leaking badly, but managed to get into Scrabster, with the life-boat in attendance. The life-boat stood by until she was safely moored, and returned to her station at 2.45 A.M.
