The Naval Barge 390

SEPTEMBER 3RD. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At about 6 A.M. the naval barge 390 was leaving harbour when she stranded across the life-boat slipway. A strong southerly wind was blowing and the sea was rough. As the position of the barge made it impossible to launch the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow, the life-boatmen used the life-boat’s life-saving apparatus from the shore, and by this means rescued the barge’s crew of seventeen.- Rewards, £3 15s..
