Fishing Boats (2)

Arbroath, Angus.—Early on the'morn- ing of the llth of November, 1954, the local fishing fleet put out, but the sea became very rough. The boats made for harbour again, but were unable to enter because the tide was too low.

They stood off until ten o'clock, and one of the boats then entered the har- bour. At 10.5, with a southerly wind blowing, the life-boat Howard D. was launched. She escorted the remaining boats in and reached her station again at 2.35.—Rewards, £13 13s. Qd..
