We took the crew off the Ebinezer wae the Lifeboat although I think some o them had been onto the rocks and returned in time for our gallant rescue!!.
It was a bonny bright morning in May I think the man on watch just fell asleep, easy done.
She was refloated after a week or two but never went to sea again.
This boat was in Orkney at one time and owned by Jimmy Newlands and was then named Favonious,
I mind her lying at Scapa Jimmy went down the West coast wae her but did not own her for long, she ended being owned by Victor Sutherland Fraserburgh at the time of the grounding
