FEBRUARY 1ST. - LERWICK, SHETLANDS.

At 3.7 in the morning the coastguard reported a vessel ashore on Holm of Cruester, Lerwick Harbour, and signalling by siren. She was asking for a pilot and the lifeboat.

She was the motor ship Edina, of Leith. At four o’clock the motor life-boat Lady Jane and Martha Ryland was launched in a strong south-by-east wind, with a moderate sea. She took a pilot with her and put him on board the Edina, and he asked the life-boat to try to refloat her. She made two attempts, without success, but later the ship refloated herself, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.56 that morning.

A donation to the funds of the Institution was made by the owners. - Rewards, £13 2s.
