Broughty Ferry, Angus. — At about 9.55 A.M. on the 28th February, 1938, the Carnoustie coastguard telephoned that availing boat which had been anchored off Buddon Ness had drifted out of sight. An hour later they telephoned that Buddon Ness lightkeeper had reported that the boat was in difficulties and making heavy weather. A S.W.

gale was then blowing, and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat Mona put out at 11 A.M., and found the boatto be the motor fishing yawl Sovereign^ of Dundee, with a crew of two. She was bound in ballast from Dundee to Kincardine-on-Forth, and her engine had broken down. The life-boat anchored to windward of her, veered down, and got a hawser on board.

She then towed her to the tidal basin, arriving at 1.30 P.M.—Rewards, £8 Is..
