Islay, Inner Hebrides. — At 6.45 on the night of the 22nd of November, 1949, the Kilchqman coastguard tele- phoned that a resident of Port Askaig had reported a vessel ashore on Jura, about one mile north of Inver. At 6.55 the life-beat Charlotte Elizabeth left her moorings in a moderate sea, with a fresh south-westerly breeze blowing and found the steam trawler Evelyn Rose, of Grimsby, hard and fast one and a half miles north of Inver. She was laden with fish and bound from Iceland to Fleetwood. The life-boat took off eight of the trawler's crew of twenty and landed them at Port Askaig. She then returned to the trawler, stood by her until daylight, and arrived back at her station at eight o'clock on the morning of the 23rd.—Rewards, £89 I3s. 7d..
