Hawkinge (1)

A LOST PROPELLER Montrose, Angus.—At 6.8 in the evening of the 10th of May, 1947, the Scurdy Ness Lighthouse keeper reported that a motor yacht about a mile off- shore was making distress signals, and the No. 1 motor life-boat The Good Hope' was launched at 6.19 in a strong easterly breeze and rough sea. She found the motor yacht Hawk, of Aberdeen, with a crew of five, her propeller gone, in danger of being driven on to the rocks.

She towed her in, and arrived back at her station at 7.20.—Rewards, £9 19s..
