Fraserburgh, Aberdeensbire. — Early on the morning of the 5th October, 1939, the assistant harbour master saw distress signals coming from the bay. A strong E.S.E. wind was blowing with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched at 6.40 A.M., and found the small fishing boat Pioneer, of Peterhead, dragging her anchor. Fishing gear had fouled her propeller and she was in danger of being driven ashore. The life-boat towed her into the harbour, and returned to her station at 7.25 A.M.— Rewards, £7 6s. 6d..
