Britannia
Aith, Shetlands.—At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 3rd of June, 1954, the Lerwick coastguard rang up to say that the motor fishing boat Britannia, of Lerwick, with a crew of five, had broken down in Papa Sound off Sand- ness. At 12.58 the life-boat City of Glasgow, on temporary duty at the station, put to sea. There was a slight sea and a light south-south-west breeze. The life-boat found the fish- ing boat in danger of being carried ashore by the strong tide and towed her to Voe, reaching her station again at six o'clock.—Rewards, £10 17s..
