During the afternoon of the 5th November the sea increased rapidly, and when the motor fishing yawls Procure and Quest, of Banff, inward bound, appeared in the bay, it was breaking very heavily across the harbour bar. A moderate S.S.E. breeze was blowing. The No. 1 motor life- boat Emma Constance put out at 3.45 P.M., escorted the yawls into harbour, and returned to her station at 4.47 P.M.—Rewards, £6 135..
