Buckie, Banffshire. At one o'clock on the afternoon of the 26th of Febru- ary, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that Wick radio had received a message from the motor fishing boat Elm Grove, of Buckie, that a fisherman had fallen overboard.

He had been rescued by another mem- ber of the crew but was unconscious and needed a doctor. At 1.30 the life- boat Glencoe, Glasgow was launched with a doctor on board in a moderate swell. There was a fresh north-wester- ly wind and a flood tide. The life- boat found the Elm Grove twelve miles north-east of Buckie. The doctor was put aboard, but the fisherman was found to be dead. The life-boat es- corted the fishing boat to harbour, arriving at 2.30. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
