MARCH 2lST. - GIRVAN. AYRSHIRE.

At 9.45 P.M. the police reported that a vessel was ashore about one mile south of Turnberry Lighthouse and was showing flares.

The weather was calm but there was a dense fog. At 10.10 A.M. the motor life-boat Lily Glen - Glasgow was ready to go out, but the tide was low and she had to wait an hour before going. About one mile south of Turnberry Lighthouse she found the sailing ship Ellie Park, of Dublin, aground inside the Brest Rocks. The ship had a crew of three and was on her way from Belfast to Ardrossan with scrap iron. Her crew were in no immediate danger and the master asked the life-boat to stand by in order to help the ship get off when the tide had risen. About 4 A.M. the life-boat towed her off and took her through the channel into the safety of the open sea. She returned to her station at 4.50 A.M. - Rewards, £15 9s..
