Kirsty

The motor life-boat Lloyd's was launched at 3 P.M.

on the 19th September, during a whole S.W. gale, with a rough sea, to the help of the yacht Kirsty, of Ayr. The yacht was being used by Gaumont British Picture Corporation, Ltd., for filming in the Hebrides. She had been stormbound at Castlebay for some days, and during the gale had started to drift. The life-boat found her with her anchor gone and her engine out of order. She was taken in tow to a safe anchorage.—Property salvage case..
