Wick, Caithness-shire.—The Aber- deen trawler Star of Victory had stranded near Keiss on the 25th Octo- ber, 1939, and, as already described, the Wick life-boat City of Edinburgh helped her on that day and rescued her crew of ten on the following day. At 11.55 A.M. on the 29th October, a boat- man at Keiss telephoned that owing to a shift of wind and a rising sea he was unable to get alongside the Star of Victory, and that a salvage crew of seven were marooned on board. A fresh E.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The life-boat went to the wreck, rescued the seven men and returned to Wick at 2.] 5 P.M.—Re- wards, £6 13s..
