Ocean Pride

Dunbar, Haddingtonshire.—While the motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was at sea on the afternoon of the 16th of July, 1938, for her monthly exercise, she received a signal from the coastguard that a yacht was in a dangerous position near Thorntonloch, a mile east of Chapel Point. A moderate N.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found the yacht to be the Ocean Pride, of Buekhaven, bound with a crew of four to South Shields. Her engine had broken down, and her crew were seasick and very exhausted. The lifeboat towed her to Dunbar, and returned to her station at 5.45 P.M. The skipper of the yacht made a donation to the Institution.—Rewards, £6 2s. 6d..
