A TRAWLER ASHORE Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.—At 9.0 in the morning of the 21st of August, 1947, a vessel was reported ashore at Lackie Head, near Kinnaird Head, and the motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched two minutes later. There was neither wind nor sea, but the weather was foggy. The life-boat found the steam drifter Ex- chequer, of Banff, aground with a heavy list to port, and the skipper asked her to stand by while the tide was making.

She first put back to harbour, brought out a surveyor, then put him ashore again, and then, returning, stood by until the trawler refloated and escorted her into harbour, where she arrived at 1.10 in the afternoon.-—Property Salvage Case..
