Ain Mara

Campbehown, Argyllshire. — Shortly before eleven in the morning of the 19th of July, 1949, the Southend coastguard telephoned information from a farmer that a small yacht had run aground on the Arranman's Barrells Reef, Sound of Sanda, and the life-boat City of Glasgow was despatched at 11.6 in a smooth sea with a light north-westerly wind blowing. She found the auxiliary sailing yacht Ain Mara, of Dublin, A steamer had already pulled her off the reef, and she was undamaged. The life- boat escorted her for a short distance, gave her a course for Portrush clear of the dangers at Sanda, and made for her station, arriving at a quarter past one in the afternoon.—Rewards, £7 14s.
