Cineraria

Stornoway, Outer Hebrides.—At 10.20 on the night of the 19th of October, 1954, a woman at Sheshader rang up to say that a fishing boat had run ashore off Sheshader. At 10.45 the life- boat The James and Margaret Boyd, put out. The sea was rough, and a fresh gale was blowing from the south- west. The life-boat made for the position in a flooding tide and found the fishing boat Cineraria, of Peter- head, which had a crew of nine, being towed clear of the shore by the Storno- way fishing boat Ivy Rose. The Cineraria had broken down. The life-boat escorted both boats to Stornoway, reaching her station again at 4.55 on the morning of the 20th.— Rewards, £16 5s..
