Barra Island, Hebrides.—At 3.30 on the morning of the 7th of March, 1957, a message was received from the Storno- way coastguard that the steam trawler Andradite, of Fleetwood, was ashore near Curachan Rock. The life-boat Lloyds put out at 4.10 in a slight sea. There was a light southerly breeze blowing and the tide was flooding. The life- boat came up with the trawler five miles north-east of Curachan Rock, took off her crew of fifteen and landed them at Castlebay, which was reached at 7.30.—Rewards to the crew, £12 5s.; reward to the helper on shore, 15s..
