SEPTEMBER 21ST. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE. At 6.30 in the evening the coastguard telephoned that a vessel, one and a half miles N.E. of Kinnaird Head, was flying a distress signal. A N.W. gale was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat John and Charles Kennedy was launched at seven o’clock, and found the motor vessel Sven Knud, of Esbjerg, with a crew of four. Her engine had failed and she had been riding to a sea anchor for two days in the gale. Now she had broken adrift and was driving in a nasty sea on to a lee shore.

The life-boat took her in tow and brought her safely into Fraserburgh harbour at 8.10 P.M.
