Barra Island, Outer Hebrides.—At 3.30 in the afternoon, on the 18th of April, 1950, the police reported that a trawler which had just put out had run ashore and was blowing her siren. At 3.50, the life-boat Lloyd's left her moorings in a choppy sea with a strong north- westerly breeze blowing. She found the steam trawler George Hastings, of Milford Haven, with a crew of twelve,near the east-south-east fairway buoy in Castlebay Harbour. The life-boat passed a rope to her, refloated her with the rising tide, and the George Hastings then made for Oban under her own power. The Lloyd's returned to her station, arriving at seven o'clock that evening.—Rewards, £8 Is..
