Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—At 5.40 in the evening, on the 30th of No- vember, 1950, the coastguard reported that a vessel was making a flare off North Head. At 5.55 the life-boat Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow, was launched in a moderate sea with a strong south-westerly breeze blowing.

She found the Danish fishing vessel Dora Veno towing the fishing vessel Peter Veno (also of Denmark), which had broken down while bound from Esbjerg to the Shetlands. Neither ship knew the coast, so the Petcrhead harbourmaster, who was a memberof the life-boat crew, went aboard the Dora Veno and piloted her to Pcterhead Bay. The life-boat escorted her, and then returned to her station, arriving at 9.30 that night.—Rewards, £12 11s.
