ISLEFORD, a steamer, fired distress signals 3 miles south of Wick. The Wick lifeboat could not be launched owing to heavy sea so the Cromarty lifeboat was called. The vessel drifted ashore, on the north side of Wick Bay, and broke in two. The local L.S.A. fired four rockets with lines but the crew were unable to hold and fix them and all 14 of them were lost.The vessel foundered.
