Aberdeen. At 11.25 a-rn. on lyth February, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a salmon coble appeared to be in difficulties off Aliens. There was a moderate breeze from the north by east with a rough, confused sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat Ramsay-Dyce, which left at 11.40, found the coble about 50 yards off the rocks, and took her in tow. When clear of the rocks her crew of six were transferred to the life-boat and the coble was brought safely into harbour at 1.35 p.m.

The life-boat returned to her station at 1.45. The owners of the coble made a donation to the funds of the Institution..
