JULY 11TH. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 5 in the morning the coastguard reported that a steam trawler was ashore and then that she was making distress signals, and the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 5.35 A.M. The sea was calm, but there was a thick fog. The life-boat found the steam trawler Suzette, of Aberdeen, on the rocks one mile north of Peterhead, with a dangerous list. She was a vessel of about two hundred tons, loaded with fish, and had a crew of twelve. The life-boat put out an anchor for her, and as her crew had decided to stay on board during daylight, the lifeboat put back to harbour at 7.30 A.M. She arranged to return to the Suzette at highwater as the Suzette’s boat had been broken, and at 1.20 P.M. she went out again, and stood by while a tug made an unsuccessful attempt to refloat the trawler. She then went back to Peterhead, taking with her six of the Suzette’s crew. She arrived at 7.20 P.M.At 11 P.M. the life-boat left harbour again and stood by the trawler, but she was recalled by the naval authorities at 2.30 next morning, the 12th, as a convoy was being attacked off Rattray Head. Nothing more was heard of the attack on the convoy, and at 3.15 A.M. the life-boat went back to the Suzette, taking the six men whom she had landed the evening before. Fog prevented any attempt to get the trawler off on this  tide and the life-boat reached harbour again at 6.30. Later in the day the tug made another attempt to refloat the trawler and the life-boat returned to her at 3.30 in the afternoon, but this attempt also failed, and, as the trawler was now making a lot of water, the life-boat rescued the whole of her crew of twelve, and finally returned to harbour at 7.30 P.M. The owner of the Suzette undertook to reward the life-boat crew. - No expense to the Institution.
