Portrush, Co. Antrim-.—On the llth of July, 1951, H.M.S. St. Kitts was visiting Portrush. Two ratings went ashore for stores; but sudden bad weather prevented them going aboard again with them. The St. Kitts' Com- manding Officer therefore asked for the life-boat; and at 6.30 that evening the life-boat Lady Scott, Civil Service No. 4j was launched in a rough sea with a strong north-westerly breeze blowing. She put the ratings and stores aboard the destroyer, which was one mile west of Ramore Head, and arrived back at her station at 6.55. The Commanding Officer ex- pressed his thanks.—Rewards, £6..
