Stromness, Orkneys.—At 2.45 in the morning of the 14th of March, 1952, the Kirkwall coastguard reported a trawler ashore between Noup Head and Start Point and at 3.38 the life- boat J. J. K. S. W. left her moorings.

There was a moderate swell with a light south-easterly breeze blowing.

The life-boat found the steam trawler Peter Carey, of London, at Whitemill Skerry, Sanday, with a crew of twelve. She secured a rope to the trawler's bow and pulled the bow into deeper water enabling the Peter Carey to refloat herself. She was not dam- aged and went on her way. The life- boat returned to her station, arriving at 3.30 that afternoon.—Rewards, £27 17s..
