Anstruther, Fifeshire.—At 5.52 on the evening of the 8th of December, 1953, the coastguard rang up to say that the steam trawler Thomas L. Devlin, of Granton, had gone ashore at North Carr. At 6.10 the life-boat James and Ruby Jackson was launched, with the bowman in charge. There was a swell and fog. The life-boat found the trawler nearly high and dry two miles east-by-north of the North Carr lightvessel. She stood by her until a tug arrived, and then passed a rope from the tug to the trawler. The life- boat remained until the tug pulled the trawler clear, and then returned to her station, arriving at 3.30 early on the 9th.—Rewards, £25 96-..
