TRAWLER’S CREW SAVED
FINE PIECE OF RESCUE WORK BY SCOTTISH VILLAGERS British Official Wireless Reed. 10.43 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. A fine piece of rescue work was effected in the early hours of yesterday by five men and a woman, of the little village of Newtonhill, Kincardineshire, Scotland, who were awakened by distress signals from a trawler which had been driven ashore in a violent storm, and was pounding helplessly on the rocks. The rescue party succeeded with difficulty in getting a line aboard the vessel, and in an Improvised chair the crew of ten was hauled safely ashore through the surf. The rescue was completed before the Aberdeen lifeboat reached the scene.
