Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—Early on the morning of the 1st February, 1938, a fisherman reported distress flares from a vessel ashore on Dhorling sandbank, Davaar Island. She was the coasting steamer Falavee, of Belfast, bound with a cargo of coal for Larne from Glasgow. She carried a crew of seven. A west gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat City of Glasgow was launched at 3.36 A.M. After some difficult manoeuvring,due to the position of the Falavee and the very heavy sea, she got alongside and rescued the seven men. She landed them at Campbeltown at 5 A.M. Later on the weather moderated and, at the request of the captain, and in the absence of any other suitable boat, the life-boat put off again at 9.30 A.M. and took the crew back to the Falavee.

She then ran out a kedge anchor from the Falavee, and at high water helped her to get off into deep water. She escorted her to the pier, and returned once more to her station at 1.30 P.M.— Rewards, £14 165. 6d., and Property Salvage Case..
