Anstruther, Fifeshire. — About 10.30 in the morning of the 1st of August, 1949, the coastguard reported that naval boats were in a dangerous posi- tion off West Wemyss, and at 10.40 the life-boat Nellie and Charlie was launched. A very strong westerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was rough. The life-boat found two cutters and a whaler with fourteen men from H.M.S. Caledonia, a training ship at- Rosyth, at anchor, east of Wemyss Har- bour, close to a rocky shore. The boats had taken part in a regatta on the 30th of July. The life-boat towed them first to a safer position and then took them to Methil Dock. She reached her station again at 5 o'clock that afternoon. A letter of thanks was received from the naval authorities.—• Rewards, £19 14s..
