Aberdeen.—At 2.11 early on the morning of the 29th of March, 1956, the coastguard rang up to say that he had heard long and short blasts on a siren from a vessel near the harbour or lighthouse. He later stated that the lighthouse keeper could hear men shouting. At 3.30 the no. 1 life-boat Hilton Briggs put out. There was a moderate sea, a light breeze was blow- ing, and it was one hour before high water. The life-boat made a search in dense fog and found that the steam trawler Rennyhill, of Aberdeen, which had a crew of ten, had gone aground on the south side of the south break- water. The life-boat shore Life- Saving Apparatus team at Torry assembled, and the life-boat took the trawler in tow. She pulled her off the rocks and made for Aberdeen. The life-boat found it difficult to tow her, and she stood by her and waited for a tug. A tug arrived a little later, took the Rennyhill in tow, and with the help of the life-boat brought her to the harbour, which was reached at 8.19.—Rewards to the crew, £14 5s.; reward to the helper on shore etc., 18s.; rewards to the Torry Life-Saving team. £4 5s..
