Stornoway, Outer Hebrides.—At 3.0 hi the morning of the 23rd of December 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a report had been received from a motor vessel that a trawler was ashore on Goat Island in Stornoway Harbour.

The trawler later blew her siren, and at four o'clock the life-boat William and Harriot left her moorings, in a slight sea, with a moderate south- westerly breeze blowing, and found the trawler Lochpark, of Grimsby, with a crew of thirteen. The skipper asked the life-boat to stand by. This she did, the coxswain lashing her to the trawler, and just before high water, with the life-boat's help, the trawler was refloated. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.45 that afternoon.— Property Salvage Case..
