Dunbar, Haddingtonshire.—Late on the evening of the 18th July information was received that a small rowing boat, with a man and a woman on board, appeared to be unmanageable and was drifting out to sea with the strong ebb tide. A moderate westerly breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea and showers of rain. Darkness was setting in and it was decided to send the motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan out before the boat was lost to sight. The life-boat got away at 9.24 P.M., came up with the boat about two and a half miles S.E. of Dunbar, and towed her back. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.30 P.M.
