MAY 16TH. - FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE.

The life-boat crew were called out at 8.30 in the morning to stand by, as a heavy gale was blowing from the northnorth- east, with heavy seas breaking across the harbour entrance, which made it difficult for vessels coming in. At 9.20 the motor lifeboat John and Charles Kennedy was launched and stood by at the harbour entrance ready to help if necessary. She remained there until one o’clock, when she came ashore for her crew to get a meal, and then resumed duty at the harbour entrance. By five o’clock the sea was moderating and, as no boats could be seen approaching, the life-boat was re-housed at six o’clock. - Rewards, £5 1s..
