Anstruther, Fifeshire.—On the morning of the 27th June a motor boat left Methil, with seven people on board, pleasure fishing. At 9.48 A.M. the coastguard reported that she had gone ashore in Largo bay, but as the coastguard life-saving apparatus was in attendance, the motor life-boat Nellie and Charlie was not launched. At 12.9 P.M. the coastguard asked that the life-boat might be launched, and she put out six minutes later. A moderate W.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a slight swell. The life-boat found the motor boat west of Kincraig Point.

The seven people had been taken ashore by the life-saving apparatus, but the boat was entangled in salmon nets. The life-boat freed her, towed her into Elie harbour, and returned to her station at 2.30 P.M.—Rewards, £5 16s..
