it was reported that the local motor boat Pansy, with a crew of two, had broken down and was drifting off Noss Head, and at 6.40 the life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched. There was a light westerly breeze with a slight sea. The life-boat came up with the Pansy about four miles east-north-east of the head. The two men had been at sea since six that morning, and the life-boat took them on board and towed their boat to Wick, reaching her station again at nine o'clock.— Rewards, £5..
