Stromness, Orkneys. At ten o'clock on the morning of the 13th of March, 1959, the assistant motor mechanic told the honorary secretary that he had heard the motor fishing vessel Enterprise calling for help on his radio.

At 10.12 the life-boat J.J.K.S.W., on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a moderate south-westerly wind with a heavy swell. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the fishing vessel, with a crew of four, one mile west of Braga off Hoy Sound.

There was a fault in her engine, and the life-boat took her in tow to Stromness, which was reached at 11.58.

Rewards to the crew, £10 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
