At 1.30 A.M. on the morning of the 14th January, the police informed the Coastguard that the motor yawl Falcon, of Broughty Ferry, was adrift somewhere in the Tay with fifteen men on board. She had left Tayport at 10 P.M. the previous night for Broughty Ferry, and there was no sign of her. A strong S.W. gale was blowing with a heavy sea. The Motor Life-boat John Ryburn was called out, but just as she was about to leave, the missing vessel's lights were seen approaching, and the Life-boat Crew were dismissed.—Rewards, 18s..
