Girvan, Ayrshire.-—-On the morning of 8th March, 1939, a strong W.N.W.

wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and the fresh water from the flooded river Girvan was making the harbour bar extremely dangerous. Five fishing boats from Girvan and two from Aroch, Moray Firth, were fishing on the Ballantrae Banks, and about ten in the morning the harbour-master reported that they were expected to return to Girvan. The life-boat Lily Glen— Glasgow, was launched at 10.20 and went outside the harbour. As each boat approached she escorted her in.

She returned to her station at 11.55 A.M.
