— On the morning of the 8th January the cox- swain telephoned to the honorary secretary that the local motor fishing boat Streamlight had left harbour early in the morning in company with other fishing boats, but had not returned with them. The motor life-boat H.C.J.

was launched at 11.40 A.M. to look for her in a strong W.N.W. gale, with a very heavy sea, and heavy hail, rain and snow showers. She found her about three miles off Sand- side, which is about fifteen miles west of Thurso, and escorted her back to Thurso harbour. She returned to her station at 2 P.M.—Rewards, £7 12s.
