Calvor Forayar, of Thorshavn

JULY 26TH. - WICK, CAITHNESSSHIRE.

At 10.55 at night the coastguard reported that a fishing boat had burnt a flare one mile south-east-by-east of Wick, and at 11.35 the motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched in a slight sea, with a light south-south-easterly wind blowing. She found the motor fishing boat Calvor Forayar, of Thorshavn, bound for that port from Aberdeen, with a general cargo. She had a crew of eight. Her engines had failed, but when the life-boat reached her her crew had managed to start them again. The life-boat escorted her into Wick harbour, where they arrived at midnight. - Rewards, £8 15s.
