AUGUST 27TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE. At 11.30 P.M. a message was received from the resident naval officer that a vessel eight miles from Kinnaird Head required help. A fresh W.N.W. wind was blowing, and the sea was choppy. At 11.40 P.M. the motor lifeboat John and Charles Kennedy was launched, and found that the British steamer Remura had been struck by an aerial torpedo during an air battle. The life-boat picked up a ship’s boat with 23 survivors and transferred them to a destroyer which was in the vicinity, also engaged in picking up survivors. The lifeboat continued to search but, finding nothing more, returned to her station at 2 A.M. At 4.30 A.M. the coastguard reported flares, resembling a ship on fire, about 8 miles from Kinnaird Head, and the life-boat crew were assembled. A further message was received that a destroyer and other smaller craft were standing by the burning vessel, which had been taken in tow. The help of the life-boat was not required, and later news was received that the vessel had sunk off Rattray Head.- Rewards, £10 18s.
