A TOW IN A ROUGH SEA Girvan, Ayrshire.—About 5 o'clock in the evening of the 26th of November, 1947, a motor fishing boat was seen one mile to the westward, apparently broken down. On being signalled she replied that she did not need help, but about an hour later, in view of the freshening north-west breeze, and the rough sea, it was thought advisable for the motor life-boat to put out, and the Lily Glen—Glasgow was launched at 6.40. She found the motor fishing boat Rose, of Inverness, with a crew of seven, one mile west-south-west of the harbour and towed her in, arriving back at her station at 7.40.—Rewards, £7 7*. 6d..
