Campbeltown, Argyllshire. At 3.11 a.m. on 3rd April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from Portpatrick radio station that the motor fishing vessel Rosemary was in difficulties and needed assistance. The life-boat City of Glasgow II, which proceeded at 3.40 in a light south-westerly breeze and smooth sea, found the Rosemary settled on Paterson's Reef. The tide was ebbing.

A tow line was connected and at high water the Rosemary re-floated and proceeded under her own power with the life-boat escorting her back to harbour.

The life-boat returned to her station at 3.25 p.m..
