JUNE 4TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE.

During the afternoon the Kinnaird Head coastguard reported a splash and the sound of an explosion bearing 360° from Kinnaird Head two miles distant, just after two British aeroplanes had disappeared into the mist, and the naval authorities asked the life-boat to investigate. At 5.40 P.M.

the motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy put out. A light S.E. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat found a large patch of oil, a deflated rubber dinghy and three pieces of a Blenheim bomber, but no sign of any survivors. She returned to her station at 7.15 P.M. - Rewards, £7 6s. 6d..
