Mallaig, Inverness-shire.—At 5.38 on the morning of the 5th of February, 1957, the Southend coastguard tele- phoned that the steam trawler Robert Lindrick, of Aberdeen, was ashore on the Isle of Mull. The life-boat Sir Arthur Rose put out at 6.15. There was a heavy sea, a whole south-westerly gale was blowing, and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat reached the position and found that only the trawler's masts were showing above the water and could see no sign of her crew of twelve.

Several trawlers and other craft in- cluding aircraft were looking for survivors. The life-boat joined in the search, but could find nothing and returned to her station, arriving at 6.30. All the trawler's crew lost their lives.—Rewards to the crew, £26 5s..
