C.E.

Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 4.46 on the morning of the 26th of June, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was in distress one mile west of Ramore Head. Within ten minutes the life-boat Laiy Scott, Civil Service No. 4, was launched in a moderate sea with a moderate north- north-west wind blowing. She found the Portstewart fishing boat C.E. 61 disabled by an engine breakdown, and towed her, with her crew of four, to safety. She arrived back at her station at 5.20.—Rewards, £6 7*. 6d..
