St. Abbs, Berwickshire.—On the after- noon of the 29th of November, 1954, the motor fishing vessel White Heather, of Berwick, fouled her propeller off St.

Abbs. At 3.5 the life-boat W. Ross Macarthur of Glasgow was launched.

It was one and a half hours before high water and the sea was choppy. A moderate south-easterly breeze was blowing, but there had been a gale warning. The life-boat came up with the White Heather four miles east-by- north of St. Abbs and found that her crew of five were about to burn flares to summon help. The life-boat towed her to Eyemouth and then returned to her station, arriving at 4.45.— Rewards, £7 7s..
