OCT. 29TH . - WICK, CAITHNESS-SHIRE. The Aberdeen trawler Star of Victory had stranded near Keiss on the 15th October, 1939, and the Wick life-boat City of Edinburgh helped her on that day and rescued her crew of ten on the following day.

At 11.55 A.M. on the 29th October, a boatman at Keiss telephoned that owing to a shift of wind and a rising sea he was unable to get alongside the Star of Victory, and that a salvage crew of seven were marooned on board. A fresh E.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The life-boat went to the wreck, rescued the seven men and returned to Wick at 2.15 P.M. - Rewards, £6 13s.
