Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—At 8.40 on the evening of the 13th of March, 1956, the Southend coastguard rang up to say that the motor vessel Lochinvar, of Glasgow, which had a crew of fifteen, had wirelessed that she had struck the rocks at Sanda. At nine o'clock the life-boat City of Glasgow II put out. There was a swell and a moderate south-south- east breeze, and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat made for the position in a thick haze and found the Lochinvar on Paterson's Rock to the east of Sanda.

The vessel refloated on the tide at 11.3, but she was leaking. The life- boat escorted her as far as Pladda lighthouse, where a tug met her, and then returned to her station, arriving at 3.30 on the 14th.—Rewards to the crew, £20 15s..
