JANUARY 29TH. - CAMPBELTOWN, ARGYLLSHIRE. At 1.35 P.M. information was received from the tug Englishman, in Campbeltown Harbour, that she had picked up a message on her wireless, from a vessel ashore at Cleats Point, Isle of Arran. An E.S.E. wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and the weather was cold, with snow showers.

The tug put out at once, and the motor lifeboat City of Glasgow also followed at 1.55 P.M.

She reached Cleats Point at 3.15 P.M., close behind the tug, and found the S.S. Badgistan, of Newcastle, abandoned. She put the tug master on board, but he could find no one there. The steamer was fast on a reef.

The life-boat returned to her station at 5.40 P.M. - Rewards, £10 6s. 3d.
