PROPELLER FOULED BY FISHING NET Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—At mid- night on the 17th of October, 1947, it was learned that the motor fishing boat Watchful had not returned, and at 9.40 next morning the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow put out to look for her in a fresh southerly wind with a moderate sea. While she was searching she received a wireless mes- sage from the shore giving the position of the missing boat, about eighteen miles east-south-east of Buchanness.

There she found her, disabled by a net which had fouled her propeller, and towed her, and her crew of five, into harbour at 3.30 in the afternoon.—• Rewards, £16 12s. 6d..
