Stornoway, Hebrides. At 9.30 on the night of the 8th of April, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a vessel was reported ashore near Goat Island. The coast- guard confirmed the report at 10.20, saying a trawler was ashore at Battery Point with two fishing boats standing by. As the weather was fine, it was decided not to launch the life-boat, but at 11.15 there was a forecast of bad weather, and as the trawler was still ashore the life-boat J.J.K.S.W., on temporary duty at the station, put out at 11.35. The life-boat found the steam trawler Seddon, of Aberdeen, ashore, with a crew of thirteen. She stood by her during the night, and when an attempt to refloat her the next day failed, the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 11.30. Rewards to the crew, £22. 5s..
