Thurso, Caithness-shire.—At noon on the 24th of February, 1951, the second coxswain reported that the motor fishing vessel Ringdove, of Wick, was overdue. People were anxious for the safety of her crew of five. At 12.25 the life-boat H. C, J. was launched, in a rough sea with a fresh northerly breeze blowing. She found the Ring- dove five miles north-west of Holborn Head, and escorted her to Scrabster Harbour, arriving back at her station at 2.25.—Rewards, £12 17s..
