JUNE. 10TH. - BUCKIE, BANFFSHIRE.

At 11.30 P.M. the coastguard telephoned that they had been watching a vessel since 6 P.M.

She was under sail, but making little headway, and appeared to be flying a two-flag signal. The wind was slight, from the N.N.E., but the sea was rough. The motor life-boat K.B.M. was launched at 11.55 P.M., and found the seine net fishing vessel Quest, of Cullen, with a crew of four, three miles N. from Buckie. She had left Wick at 10 A.M., but her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her into harbour, arriving at 12.45 A.M.
