Mini and Daisy

Montrose, Angus.—On the morning of the 5th October the sea, which had been making with the ebb tide, rapidly became worse, and by low water was breaking right across the bar. Several of the smaller fishing boats were at sea, and as they could only make the crossing at very great risk, the No. 1 motor life-boat John Russell was launched at 11.55 A.M. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, and the sea was heavy. The life-boat stood by the Mini and the Daisy as they came in, and returned to her station at 2.15 P.M.—Rewards, £9 8s..
