JUNE 9TH. - WICK, CAITHNESS-SHIRE.

At 10.2 A.M. the coastguard reported a vessel ashore near Keiss Castle. The sea was smooth, with a light E.S.E. wind, but there was dense fog. The motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched at 10.30 A.M. and found the motor vessel Edina hard ashore.

She was bound for the Orkneys, laden, with a crew of fourteen. She was in no immediate danger, and the captain said that he did not need help, but the life-boat stood by until the Edina refloated at about 1.30 P.M. She arrived back at her station at 2.30 P.M.- Rewards, £3 15s..
