OCTOBER 6TH. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At eight at night the coastguard reported a vessel ashore beside the coastguard station one mile north of Peterhead.

The sea was smooth, but there were patches of fog. The motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 8.15 and found the Hull trawler Avon Star.

She was bound for Hull, laden with fish, and had a crew of fourteen. The life-boat coxswain went on board her and the life-boat ran out an anchor and pulled her off the rocks. The trawler was able to go on her way under her own steam, and the life-boat escorted her for a short distance. Then the trawler’s skipper said that he could manage without help, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 10.20. - Property salvage case..
