Buckie, Banffshire. At 9.30 on the morning of the 5th of February, 1958, the coastguard informed the coxswain that the S.S. Orkney Trader, of Kirk- wall, was in danger of driving ashore two and a half miles north of Buckie.

At 9.50 the life-boat Glencoe, Glasgow, was launched in a very rough sea. A whole northerly gale was blowing, with snow, and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat found the Orkney Trader with two anchors out and her engines running. She stood by until 3.50, when the master of the steamer re- ported that his anchors were holding and he needed no further help. The life-boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 4.30. Rewards to the crew, £18 ; reward to the helper on shore, 17s..
