MAY 4TH.. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE. Early in the morning, information was received from the coastguard that signals had been seen seven to eight miles N.N.W. of Kinnaird Head, and at 3.20 A.M. the motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched. The weather was overcast, with light airs and a moderate swell. The life-boat found the S.S. Dunvegan Head, of Leith, with a crew of fourteen.
Her engine had broken down, she was drifting with the tide, and was a good target for enemy aeroplanes. At the request of her captain the life-boat towed her into Fraserburgh Bay. There she anchored to wait for the tide, and the life-boat returned to herstation. At 1.30 P.M., when the tide had turned, the life-boat went out again and brought her into harbour, returning to her station at 3.30 P.M. - Property salvage case.
