Stronsay, Orkneys.—At 3.20 on the morningof the 20th of September, 1954, the owners of the motor vessel lona, of Shapinsay, a passenger boat of 15 tons bound for Shapinsay from Stronsay with five people on board, reported that she was long overdue, as she had left Stronsay at 10.45 on the night of the 19th. The life-boat Edward Z. Dresden put out at 3.55 in a flooding tide, a smooth sea and fair weather. She found the lona near Quiabow. The skipper needed help to find his way through Spurness Sound, so the life- boat led the lona through the Sound to Eday Gruna buoy and then returned to her station, arriving at 5.45.—Re- wards, £5 13,?..
