MAY 22 ND. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 6 A.M. the coastguard reported that the steam drifter the Golden Rod, of Peterhead, was ashore near Slains Castle, five miles S.W. of Buchan Ness. As the weather was fine, with a light southerly wind blowingand a slight swell, the coastguard was asked to find out in what state the drifter was, and a little later reported that she was listing heavily. At 7 A.M. the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched, and found another drifter standing by. The Golden Rod was making water and this caused her to bump as the tide rose, but at 9 A.M. she refloated, and the life-boat escorted her to harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 9.45 A.M. - Rewards, £3 4s. 6d.
