Eyemouth, Berwickshire. At 4.12 on the morning of the 25th of February, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that three red flares had been seen off Fort Castle Head, three miles west of St. Abbs Head. The life-boat Clara and Emily Barwell was launched at 4.45, two hours before low water in a south-easterly gale. There was a heavy swell, and rain squalls made the visibility poor. The life-boat found the trawler Craigievar of Aberdeen aground with a crew of seven. The coxswain decided to wait until daybreak and a flood tide before attempting to refloat her. With the flood tide the trawler pounded severely and her crew with the exception of the master scrambled ashore. Later the life-boat took ropes from two fishing vessels, Day Spring and Boy Peter, to the trawler, which was eventually towed clear of the rocks.

The life-boat escorted her and the towing vessels for a short distance and then returned to her station, arriving at one o'clock. Property salvage case..
