Wick, Caithness-shire.—At 11.32 in the morning of the 13th of December, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a motor fishing boat had been reported on fire off Skirza Head, and at 11.45 the life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched. The sea was moderate, with a light south-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found that the boat was the Crest, of Wick, but that the fishing boat Echo had taken off her crew of two. The life-boat took them on board, and arrived back at her station at 3.30 that afternoon.— Rewards, £11 8s..
