Lynburn

Aberdeen.—The local steam trawler Lynburn, which had previously broken adrift, had gone ashore in the Naviga- tion Channel at Aberdeen. In the early hours of the morning of the 26th of September, 1950, tugs were trying to refloat her; and at 2.40 the No. 1 life-boat Emma Constance put out to stand by her. Efforts to get her off failed and, after taking off the watch- man, the life-boat returned, arriving at 3.40.—Rewards, £4 17*. 6d..
