Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. — At 4.50 in the morning, on the 7th of September, 1950, a fishing boat skipper reported that the motor fishing boat Bezaleel, of Banff, had wirelessed that she had sprung a leak, and needed help. A later message gave her position as south-south-east of Cruden Skarls. So, at 5.20, the life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow, was launched. The sea was rough, with a westerly gale blow- ing. She found the Bezaleel, with a crew of eight, between two and three miles south-by-east of Cruden Bay withanother fishing boat standing by.

The fishing boat and the life-boat escorted the Bezaleel, which had made temporary repairs, to Peterhead har- bour, and the life-boat arrived back at her station at 8.30. The Fraserburgh lifeboat crew assembled, but were not needed.—Rewards, £10 9s..
