Stornoway, Outer Hebrides.—At 5.15 in the evening, on the 81 st of January, 1951, a message from the village of Bayble came through the Garrabost Post Office that a fishing boat was in difficulties off Bayble Head. Another fishing boat appeared to be trying to tow her. A little later the fishing boat —the Mizpah, with her engine broken down—made flares; and at 5.50 the life-boat William and Harriet was launched in a heavy sea with a fresh southerly gale. After a search she found the Mizpah entering Broad Bay under her own power, having repaired her en inc. It broke down again, how- ever, and at her skipper's request, the life-boat stood by until further repairs bad been made and she was able to goto a safe anchorage. The life-boat reached her station again at 3.0 next morning.—Rewards, £22 5s..
