Longhope, Orkneys.—At 8.26 in the morning of the 19th of October, 1951, the Kirkwall coastguard telephoned that a motor fishing vessel had anchor- ed half a mile off shore in Rackwick Bay and was blowing her siren. At 8.50 the life-boat Thomas McCunn was launched. The sea was heavy, with a light west-south-west breeze blowing.

The life-boat found the Blenheim, of Wick, quarter of a mile off shore with a crew of four. Her net had fouled her propeller. The life-boat towed her to Stromness and returned to her station, arriving at 4.45 that evening.
