Mizpah

Montrose, Angus.—About 5.20 in the evening, on the 5th of June, 1950, the Usan coastguard telephoned that the local motor fishing vessel Mizpah was overdue. At 5.35 the life-boat The Good Hope was launched, in charge of the second coxswain, in a choppy sea with a light south-easterly breeze blowing. She found the Mizpah, with a crew of three, about eight miles south- east of Scurdyness lighthouse, with a fouled propeller. The life-boat towed her in and reached her station again at 8.5.—Rewards, £13 10s..
