Kestral

Broughty Ferry, Angus.—At 4.10 in the afternoon of the 3rd of December, 1949, the life-boat coxswain saw a motor boat drifting down the river Tay. There • was a man on board, waving his jacket. At 4.18 the life- boat Mono was launched in a rough sea, with a strong westerly breeze blowing. She found the motor boat Kestral, of Dundee, off Horse Shoe Buoy, with a crew of two. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat therefore towed her to Dundee harbour and arrived back at her station at 6.15 that night.—Rewards, £9 7s. 6d..
