Lerwick, Shetlands. At 1.19 early on the morning of the 9th of Novem- ber, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the trawler Theway was ashore on the north end of Mousa. As the life-boat crew were assembling a further message was received from the coastguard that the trawler had refloated, but her skipper was not sure whether she had been damaged. As the weather was becom- ing worse it was decided to send thelife-boat Claude Cecil Staniforth, and she left her moorings at 1.41. There was a very rough sea, a strong south- south-westerly gale was blowing, and it was an hour and a half after low water. The life-boat met the trawler, which had a crew of thirteen, and es- corted her until she was safely berthed at Alexander wharf. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 2.55. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s..
