MAY 23RD. - TROON, AYRSHIRE. At 8 P.M. the Portpatrick coastguard reported a vessel ashore south of Ayr Harbour, and the motor life-boat Sir David Richmond of Glasgow was launched at 8.45 P.M. A strong N.W. breeze was blowing, with a very heavy sea and heavy rain. The life-boat found that the vessel was the motor vessel Ifiena, a Dutch vessel, now of London. She had refloated and was making for the harbour, but she failed to make it, struck the north pierhead, and eventually went aground on the sand south of the harbour, one hundred yards from the shore. The crew wished to be taken off, but as she was only drawing six feet of water the life-boat could not go alongside on the lee side, and on the weather side the sea was breaking over her. The coastguard rocket life-saving apparatus attempted to fire a line on board her but failed. Her crew of five - four men and a woman - then put off in the ship’s boat, and with the help of the life-boat reached the shore. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.30 A.M. - Rewards, £9 1s..
