A north westerly gale was blowing with a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 7.5 P.M., but she found that the barge had repaired her steering gear and had got off the rocks. She needed no help so after giving information and advice. the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 7.55 P.M. - Rewards, £17 10s. 6d.
