Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—At 8.15 on the morning of the 20th of January, 1957, a vessel was seen ashore at French Point in Campbeltown Loch.

Later the vessel's owner asked for the life-boat to help refloat her on the rising tide. At 10.55 the life-boat City of Glasgow II put out. There was a very rough sea, a fresh west-south- westerly gale was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat, came up with the motor vessel Prase, of Glas- gow, with a crew of seven, and passed a line aboard her. As the tide rose the Prase refloated with the help of the life-boat and then proceeded under her own power. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving back at noon.

The owners made a gift to the crew.
