FEBRUARY 19TH. - GIRVAN, AYRSHIRE.

At 2.30 in the afternoon the life-boat coxswain saw a fishing boat heading for the harbour from the south. A gale was blowing from the north-west and the seas were very heavy on the harbour bar, so he launched the motor life-boat Lily Glen - Glasgow at once and went outside the harbour. Here he met the Fraserburgh motor fishing boat Violet, with a crew of six and a load of herrings, and stood by until she was safely in harbour.

The life-boat returned to her station at 3.10.
