Broughty Ferry, Angus.—At 7.6 in the evening of the 1st of December, 1948, during a thick fog, the super- intendent of the Tay Ferry Service telephoned that the ferry steamer Sir William High, of Dundee, was overdue on a trip from Newport, Fife, and could be heard sounding S.O.S. signals on her whistle. She was thought to be aground. At 7.15 the motor life-boat Mona was launched. The weather was calm. The life-boat found the steamer, with seventy passengers on board, stranded on Fowler Rock. At the captain's request, the life-boat landed the passengers. Then she stood by the steamer, helped to refloat her on the rising tide, and accompanied her to Dundee. She reached her sta- tion again at 1.30 the next morning.
