FEBRUARY 21ST. - CROMARTY. At 6.30 in the evening a message was received at the post office that the motor boat Enterprise, of Cromarty, which carries mails and goods between Cromarty and Invergordon, was in danger of being driven ashore near Saltburn.

A south-west gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. A destroyer anchored in the roads went to the help of the boat, but was unable to approach her owing to the shallow water, and the motor life-boat James Macfee was launched at 6.40. She found that the Enterprise’s engine had broken down, but her crew had repaired it. She escorted her to Cromarty, arriving at 7.20. - Rewards, £5 12s. 6d..
