Restless Wave

Arbroath, Angus.—On the morning of the 2nd June, 1938, the local fishing bDat Restless Wave, returning t'o harbour, missed the tide, and lay off the harbour bar to wait for sufficient water to enable her to enter. The wind rose, making the bar very dangerous. At 2 P.M. a moderate N.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy swell and rain. The motor life-boat John' and William Mudie was launched, stood by the Restless Wave until 3.45 P.M., and then escorted her into harbour. She returned to her station at 4 P.M.— Rewards, £3 4s. 6d..
