AUGUST 9TH. - LONGHOPE, ORKNEYS.

At 9.15 in the evening the Kirkwall coastguard telephoned that a vessel was ashore on the south end of Stroma. An easterly wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Thomas McCunn was launched at 9.40 and found the Aberdeen trawler Blethos. She had a crew of eight on board and was bound for the fishing grounds.

The life-boat stood by. As the tide flowed the trawler got off without help, and the lifeboat returned, arriving at 1.30 next morning.
