JANUARY 4TH. - WICK, CAITHNESSSHIRE.

At 5.48 in the evening the coastguard reported a boat burning flares close to rock on the north side of Wick Bay, and the motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched at six o’clock, in a fresh southwesterly wind, with a slight sea. She found the fishing boat Glad Tidings, with a crew of three. Her engine was not working properly.

She had already struck against the rocks.

The life-boat took her in tow and brought her into harbour at 6.30. - Rewards, £11 5s..
