Arbroath, Angus.—On the afternoon of the 28th of December, 1948, a south- westerly gale was blowing, and at 2.45 the coastguard telephoned that owing to the heavy seas the harbour entrance was dangerous. A number of fishing boats were out, and the motor life-boat John and William Mudie was launched at 2.53 and stood by at the harbour bar. She escorted in eight fishing boats, finally returning to harbour at 4.40.—Rewards, £9 19*..
