BOAT WITHOUT LIGHTS OR SIGNALS Broughty Ferry, Angus.—At 10.30 on the night of the 25th of April, 1947, information was received from the owner of a fleet of sand-boats that he was anxious about the safety of one of his smaller boats, the S.S. Lintie, of Dundee, which, with a crew of four, was dredging two and a half miles west of Tay Bridge. The motor life-boat Mono, was launched at eleven o'clock. A squally south-westerly gale was blowing, with heavy seas, and it was very dark.

As the Lintie carried no lights or signals the life-boat had great difficulty in finding her, but she succeeded half an hour after midnight. She decided to stand by during the night, but by 5.30 the gale was so bad that the master of the Lintie decided to go to Dundee, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.40 that morning.—Re- wards, £13 18s..
