Peterhead, Aberdeenshlre.—At 6.35 on the evening of the 29th of May, 1955, the coastguard telephoned that the steam trawler Howard, of Hull, had wirelessed that she had a very sick man on board and had asked if the life-boat would take out a doctor.

She was about ten miles from Peter- head, but was unable to reach harbour because of dense fog. At 6.50 the life- boar Julia Park Barry, of Glasgow embarked a doctor and was launched in a slight swell with a moderate south-westerly breeze blowing. The Ho-card sounded her siren to guide the life-boat to her, and at 7.55 the life- boat found her five miles off Rattray Head. She put the doctor on board and later embarked him and the patient, who was suffering from pneumonia and pleurisy. She reached Peterhead again, where an ambulance was waiting, at 8.55. Rewards to the crew, £5 14s.; rewards to the helpers on shore. £1 14s..
