JANUARY 31ST. - PETERHEAD, ABERDEENSHIRE.

At 5.30 in the evening, the coastguard reported a boat showing distress signals a mile and a half north of Peterhead, and the motor life-boat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched at six o’clock. A fresh southerly wind was blowing, with a heavy swell. She found the motor boat Trust On, of Peterhead. She had been towing a derelict drifter. Her engine broke down ; the drifter was washed ashore ; she herself anchored to hold her until help came.

The life-boat took her in tow and, with difficulty, brought her round the North and South Heads in to harbour at 7.30th at evening. - Rewards, £11 17s.
