Danearn

MARCH 15TH. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 9.30 A.M. the coastguard reported a vessel ashore on outer Scotstoun Head, and the motor life-boat John Russell, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 9.55 A.M. A strong S.E. wind was blowing, with a heavy sea, and there was fog. The life-boat found the steam trawler Danearn, of Aberdeen, with a crew of ten and a catch of fish on board. She had washed over the outer reef and was near the beach. The coastguard life-saving apparatus had fired a line to the trawler, and the life-boat stood by until all the crew had been rescued from the shore, returning to her station at 3.10 P.M. - Rewards, £6 14s. 6d..
