Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 12.22 A.M.

on the 27th December, 1938, information was received from the coastguard that a ship was ashore at Greencastle.

A moderate W.N.W. wind was blowing, with heavy squalls of rain and a choppy sea. The motor life-boat T.B.B.H.

was launched at 12.35 A.M. and found the steam trawler Cevic, of Fleetwood, ashore on shelving rocks. She had on board a crew of ten, with a cargo of fish, and was bound from Moville to Fleetwood. The life-boat stood by the trawler until she refloated on the rising tide and then escorted her to Moville.

She returned to her station at 12 noon.

The owners, The Cevic Steam Fishing Company, sent a letter of thanks and made a gift of £20 to the life-boat crew.
