Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 7.34 on the evening of the 3rd of June, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the launch Scottish Maid with one man on board, appeared to be in difficulties. A later message con- firmed that the boat's engine had developed a defect and that the man was waving to attract attention. At 8.25 the life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched in a light north- north-westerly breeze with a smooth sea and a flood tide. She found the Scottish Maid in danger of drifting on to the rocks at Rattray Head and took her in tow. The life-boat reached her station at 10.45. Rewards to the crew, £7 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, etc., £4 18s..
