Wick, Caithness-shire.—At about 1 P.M. on the 23rd December, 1938, avery heavy ground swell got up in Wick Bay and seas were frequently breaking across the harbour entrance.

The fishing fleet was at sea, and as the entrance became more dangerous the motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched at 2 P.M. She was on service until 4.45 P.M. escorting the fishing boats into harbour.—Rewards, £7..
