FEBRUARY 3RD. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At four in the afternoon the coxswain saw a vessel putting up distress rockets about two miles east-south-east of Peterhead, and at 4.25 the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched.

The southerly wind was light, but there was a heavy swell. The life-boat found the motor vessel Peterborough Trader, of London, bound from Glasgow to the Tyne. Her captain wanted to get into the bay for shelter, but was afraid that his cargo of zinc plates might shift should he come broadside on to the heavy swell. The life-boat escorted her into the bay, and reached her station again at 5.10. - Rewards, £10 9s. 6d..
