Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.—At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 30th of December, 1956, the harbour master reported that the trawler Equerry, of Grimsby, which was in Peterhead Bay on her way to the fishing grounds, had an injured man on board. At 12.50 the life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow put out. There was a rough sea, a south-easterly gale was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat came up with the Equerry, and the injured man was transferred.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at five o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £5; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8,9..
