Anstruther, Fifeshire.—At 8.10 on the evening of the 22nd of July, 1953, the life-boat tractor driver reported that the local motor cruiser Davaar was in distress a hundred yards east of East Pier. At 8.20 the life-boat James and Ruby Jackson was launched. The sea was choppy, and a moderate south- westerly breeze was blowing. The life-boat found the Davaar broken down. She had been driven over two reefs and large boulders, and had sunk in shallow water. Her crew of two were standing on the top of the cabin and were holding on to her mast. A line was fired to them and a breeches- buoy was passed across. By this means the life-boat rescued them and took them to the harbour, reaching her station again at nine o'clock.— Rewards, £8 Is. 6rf..
