Lindfar

St. Abbs, Berwickshire.—During the morning of the 25th of March, 1955, a wireless message was heard from the fishing boat Lindfar, of Eyemouth, that she was returning to Eyemouth, as a member of her crew had been badly injured by a winch. The tide was too low for her to enter harbour, and at 9.50 the life-boat W. Ross Macarthur of Glasgow was launched, with a doctor on board. There was a moderate swell and a light south-south-west breeze. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat in Eyemouth Roads and put the doctor aboard. He treated the injured man, who was then trans- ferred to the life-boat and taken to St. Abbs, where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat reached her station again at eleven o'clock.— Rewards, £7 7s..
