MAY 30TH. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE. At nine o’clock in the morning the coastguard reported distress signals from a vessel ashore at Scotstown Head.

The sea was smooth, but there was a dense fog. The motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at 9.25 and found the steam drifter Snowdrop on a reef. She belonged to Peterhead and was homeward bound laden with herrings. As there was a danger of her falling over into deep water the life-boat took off her crew of ten. She transferred them to another Peterhead drifter, the Golden Rod, except the skipper whom she brought ashore at noon to report. The drifter remained aground all day and showed every sign of heeling over, but at high water, with the help of two other vessels, she was refloated and brought into Peterhead. - Rewards, £4 15s. 6d..
