Longhope, Orkneys.—At 1.57 on the morning of the 1st of June, 1951, the Kirkwall coastguard telephoned that the fishing vessel Harvest Hope, of Lerwick, had run ashore south-south- west of Copinsay; and at 2.35 the life-boat Thomas McCunn was launch- ed. The sea was smooth, with a light easterly breeze blowing. The Thomas McCunn found the ship, with a crew of six, two cables east of Nair Copinsay, and stood by her until she refloated an hour later. Then, when she saw the Harvest Hope was not damaged, she returned to her station, arriving at 10.35.—Rewards, £17 9s..
