Anstruther, Fifeshire.—At 6.15 A.M.

on the 28th March, 1939, a message was received from the Anstruther coastguard that there was a heavy swell at the harbour entrance and that the fishing fleet was returning. A moderate E.N.E. gale was blowing. The motor life-boat Nellie and Charlie was launched at 6.40 A.M. She stood by at the harbour mouth while two steam drifters and five motor boats entered. The life-boat then went to another boat, about a mile off shore, and escorted her in, returning to her station at 8.15 A.M.
