Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. — At 5.50 in the morning, on the 27th of August, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was ashore one mile north of Rattray Head. At 6.10 the life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgoiv, was launched. The weather was foggy, and there was a ground swell with a freshening southerly breeze blowing.

She found the steam trawler Tesla, of Hull, on Kirkton Head four miles north by west of Peterhead. The tide was low. The life-boat ran out an anchor from the ship's bow and, when the tide rose, pulled her clear. A tug then escorted her to Aberdeen, and the life^boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 12.30 that afternoon. — Property Salvage Case..
