LIFE-BOAT STANDS BY TILL FISHING VESSEL REFLOATS Stronsay, Orkneys. At 5.20 on the afternoon of the 17th May, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a fishing boat was ashore at Torness Point. At 5.46 the life-boat J.J.K.S.W., on temporary duty at the station, put out in a strong westerly wind and a rough sea. It was one hour after low water. The life-boat found the fishing vessel Maureen of Kirkwall with a crew of two and stood by her until she refloated on the rising tide. The fishing vessel was undamaged, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.20..
