On the 1st October the small motor fishing boat Marigold, of Thurso, which had gone out fishing, was overtaken by bad weather and was unable to return to harbour. A watch was kept on her for some time, and at 9 A.M. the Motor Life- boat H.C.J. was launched, in a strong N.E. gale, with a heavy sea and rain showers. She came up with the Man- gold in Dunnet Bay and escorted her safely into Thurso Harbour, which was reached at 10 A.M. Owing to the heavy seas on the slipway, the Life-boat could not be rehoused for some hours. The Life-boat was in charge of the Second Coxswain, as the Cpxswain was on board the Marigold.—Rewards, £7 12s..
