Arbroath, Angus. — At 11.30 P.M.

on the 16th November, 1938, the police reported that the lighthouse tender Pharos was to land a sick lightkeeper from the Bell Rock. A strong W.S.W. wind was blowing, and the sea was too rough for the boat of the Pharos to come ashore so the help of the life-boat was asked for. The motor life-boat John and William Mudie was launched at 12.5 A.M. on the 17th November, and when the Pharos was sighted at 5.15 A.M. put out to sea. She returned at 6 A.M.

with the sick man. Owing to the state of the tide the life-boat had to be moored in the harbour until 8 P.M.

when she was rehoused. The NorthernLighthouse Board sent their thanks for the life-boat's help.—Rewards, £14 9s. 6d..
