Aberdeen.—During the morning of the 25th August, 1938, the Gregness coastguard reported that distress signals had been heard off Girdleness.

Wind and sea were slight, but there was a dense fog. The No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance put out at 7.50 A.M., and found the steam drifter Carry On, of Lowestoft, aground on Girdlestone Rock. She stood by for some time, and then at the request of the master tried to tow the drifter clear. She succeeded, and the Carry On then made for Aberdeen, escorted by the life-boat, which returned to her station at 9.15 A.M.—Property Salvage Case..
