Stornoway, Outer Hebrides.—At 7.5 on the night of the 25th of January, 1951, the police sent a message that a fishing boat was reported to have made flares off the Tolsta Head. At 7.30 the life-boat William and Harriet was launched in a rough sea with a fresh southerly gale. She found the motor fishing boat Venture at anchor with a crew of two, south of the Butt of Lewis. Her engine had broken down and she was leaking. The life-boat towed her to Stornoway, and arrived back at her station at 2.30 the next morning.—Property Salvage Case..
