BUMPING BADLY Buckie, Banffshire. At 9 p.m. on I5th March, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a vessel had grounded on the West Mucks. There was a fresh south-easterly breeze with a moderate sea, and a flooding tide. The lifeboat Laura Moncur left at 9.25 and found the trawler Juniper of Aberdeen fast on the rocks and bumping badly. A line was fired across the casualty and the lifeboat stood by until the trawler refloated soon after midnight. After the fishing vessel had refloated she steamed off at full speed without replying to the life-boat inquiries as to whether any additional help was required. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.30 a.m..
