Dunbar, East Lothian.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 22nd of August, 1953, the coastguard telephoned that he had received a message from the Barnsness lighthouse that a man in a drifting fishing boat a mile east of the light- house was waving a flag. At 10.40 the life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was launched in a slight sea and light north-westerly breeze. She found the motor fishing boat Achieve with her engine broken down, towed her to Dunbar, and reached her station again at 11.55.—Rewards, £5 5s..
