June Rose.

PROPELLER FOULED Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—-At 9.40 in the evening of the llth of November, 1947, the coastguard telephoned that a seine-net fishing boat had fouled her propeller and was signalling for help half a mile off Cruden Bay. The motor life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow, was launched at 9.55, in a freshening south-easterly breeze with a moderate sea, and found the local fishing boat June Rose. Her engine could go astern but not ahead, and her crew of two were trying to clear the propeller. The life-boat towed her to Cruden Bay and returned to her station, arriving at 12.55 the next morn- ing.—Rewards, £11 6s. 6d..
