Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. At 8.17 on the evening of the 17th of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small vessel was showing distress signals three and a half miles north-east of Peterhead. At 8.30 the life-boat H.C.J., on temporary duty at the station, was launched two hours after high water in a light southerly breeze and a smooth sea.

The life-boat found the fishing yawl Jewel with a crew of three and took her in tow, arriving at Peterhead at ten o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7 10s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 8s..
