Fishing Boats

Arbroath, Angus.-—At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 31st of March, 1948, the coastguard reported that six local fishing boats were approaching harbour. A south-southywest gale was blowing with a very rough sea, making the harbour bar dangerous, and the motor life-boat John and William Mudie was launched at 3.15. She stood by until all the boats had got in safely and returned to her station at 4.15.—Rewards, £11 105. 6d..
