Islay, Inner Hebrides.—At 1.25 on the morning of the 13th of October, 1950, the Kilchoman coastguard telephoned that the steam trawler Wyre Captain, of Fleetwood, had reported that she was ashore in Islay Sound off Port Askaig and needed help. At 1.45 the life-boat Charlotte Elizabeth left her moorings. The sea was moderate with a strong south-south-west breeze blow- ing. She found the trawler on the Jura side of the Sound three miles north of Port Askaig and stood by, eventually helping to refloat her. She reached her station again at five o'clock.—Rewards, £13 10s..
