OCT. 5TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE.

Information was received that the small fishing boats of Fraserburgh, Violet, Promote II, Boy George, Union, and Victory, had put out at 2.30 P.M. but had not returned by 6.40 P.M., and the coastguard Kinnaird reported that they were making their way eastwards towards Fraserburgh Harbour. A very strong S.E. wind was blowing, with a rough sea which made the harbour entrance dangerous. At 6.55 P.M.

the motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched. She met the boats, warned them of the state of the harbour entrance and escorted them in. She returned to her station at 9 P.M. - Rewards, £14 9s. 6d..
