Devotion

Dunbar, East Lothian.—At 4.25 on the afternoon of the 3rd of May, 1954, the coastguard reported that the local motor fishing boat Devotion, with a crew of three, was in difficulties about three miles north-east of Dunbar and had asked for help. At 4.50 the life- boat George and Sarah Strachan put out in a rough sea, with a strong north-north-east breeze blowing. She found that the Devotion had engine trouble, escorted her to the harbour, and reached her station again at 6.30.—Rewards, £5 5s..
