Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire. At 3.22 on the afternoon of the 16th August, 1961, the police informed the honorary secretary that a girl who had been bathing off Inverallochy sands had been swept out to sea and was in difficulties.

There was a moderate north-westerly breeze with a moderate sea. At 3.29 the life-boat H.C.J., on temporary duty at the station, was launched on a flooding tide. The girl was found and picked up, and artificial respiration was applied.

A message was also sent asking for a doctor to be waiting when the life-boat returned. Artificial respiration con- tinued to be given, but when the doctor examined the girl she was found to be dead. The life-boat reached her station at 4.43..
