Broughty Ferry, Angus.—At 11.44 on the morning of the 30th of August, 1954, the Carnoustie coastguard rang up to say that the motor fishing boat Arka, of Gydnia, which had a sick man on board, had run aground one and a half miles west-by-south of Buddon Ness. At 1.55 the life-boat Mona was launched. The sea was rough, and a strong westerly breeze was blowing. She made tor the Arka in a flood tide and found that the Arka's engineer had injured an eye.

The life-boat wirelessed for an ambu- lance to meet her at Broughty Ferry and landed the man there at 3.30.

The Arka refloated at high water.— Rewards, £6 19*. 6d..
