DECEMBER 2ND. - PORT ASKAIG, ARGYLLSHIRE. At 3.11 A.M. the Kilchoman coastguard reported a vessel ashore in the Sound of Islay. The weather was fine, with a light S.W. wind and a calm sea. The motor life-boat Charlotte Elizabeth was launched at 4.10 A.M. and found the steam trawler Celtia, of Fleetwood, aground on the S.W. point of Jura. She had a crew of twelve and was laden with fish for Fleetwood.

She was in no immediate danger, and another Fleetwood trawler, the Toronto, was standing by, but unable to go close inshore. The life-boat waited until daylight. She then piloted the Toronto inshore and also carried a cable from her to the Celtia. On the high tide the Toronto got the Celtia afloat and towed her into deep water. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.55 P.M. - Property salvage case..
