Stromiu;s, Orkneys.—At 1.10 on the afternoon of the 30th of April, 1051, a salvage company reported that the n.otor tanker Oljaren, of Gothenburg, which had been aground off Muckle Skerry since the 12th, had been re- floated and was being towed to Long- hope. The company asked for the life-boat in case the weather became dangerous for the sixteen men aboard her. So at 1.30 the life-boat J.J.K.S.W.

was launched. The sea was calm with a light north-easterly breeze. She came up with the tanker in tow of a tug two and a half miles south of Cantick Head, and escorted them both to Longhope Bay, returning to her station by 7.30 that evening. The Longhope life-boat had rescued the tanker's crew of forty on the 12th and 13th April.—Rewards, £11 17*..
