Two boys, in search of driftwood, crossed a ridge of rocks between the mainland and Scottle Holm, about two miles to the North of Lerwick, on 7th November, and were cut off by the rising tide. Their where- abouts was discovered about nine at night. A strong E.S.E. breeze was blowing with a moderate sea and heavy rain, and as no other boat able to rescue them was available, the Motor Life-boat was despatched, with a small boat in tow. She approached to within 60 yards and then sent off the small boat, manned by three men, in the beam of her searchlight. The boys, who were soaked to the skin and in an exhausted state, were rescued and taken on board the Life-boat.—Rewards, £13 2s. 6cJ..
