Fishing Boats (1)

Arbroath, Angus.—About 11.45 on the morning of the 27th of October, 1952, the coastguard reported that fishing boats were still at sea in deteriorating weather and that conditions at the harbour bar were dangerous. The life-boat Robert Lindsay was launched at once in a very rough sea, with a westerly gale blowing, and separately escorted in five fishing boats. The coastguard shore life-saving team man- ned their apparatus but were not needed, and when the weather moder- ated the life-boat returned to her sta- tion, arriving at 2.5.—Rewards, £12 Os. 6d..
