Dunbar, East Lothian.—At 3.10 on the afternoon of the 12th of September, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was flying distress signals south- east of Bass Rock. Five minutes later the life-boat George and Sarah Strachan left her moorings in a choppy sea with a moderate westerly breeze. She came up with the local motor fishing vessel Young Robert, with a crew of four, two miles south-east of the Rock. Her en- gine had broken down, so the life-boat towed her to harbour, arriving at 4.15.
