MAY 19TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 12.12 P.M. a message was received from the Kinnaird Head coastguard that a small fishing boat, about a half mile off shore, appeared unable to get back. At 12.35 P.M. a further message came that she was drifting out to sea. There was a fresh S.S.E.

breeze blowing, with a light swell. At 1 P.M.

the reserve motor life-boat John Russell, on temporary duty at Fraserburgh, was launched and found the fishing yawl, Margaret, of Fraserburgh with three boys on board. The boys were taken into the life-boat which then towed the yawl to Broadsea shore. There she put the boys aboard her again and stood by until they had safely beached her. She returned to her station at 2.20 PM. - Rewards, £2 19s..
