Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—At 2.15 on the morning of the 9th of August, 1950, the Southend Coastguard reported a small white light at the north end of Sheep Island. He thought it might be a vessel aground. At 2.43 the life- boat Manchester and Salford, on tem- porary duty at the station, was launched in a heavy sea with a southerly breeze blowing. She found the S.S. Rimsdale, of Glasgow, aground amidships and bumping, and together they tried to refloat the steamer. But it was not until after high water that, with considerable difficulty, she was refloated and went on her way. The life-boat then re- turned to her station, arriving at 12.10.
