Dunbar, East Lothian.—At 7.15 on the evening of the 15th of February, 1955, the coastguard telephoned that the local fishing boat Primrose, which had a crew of four, had not returned and had last been seen by fishermen near Mav Island. Ten minutes later thelife-boat George and Sarah Straehan was launched and made a search in a heavy swell, with a strong north-north-east wind blowing and mist. She found the Primrose four miles north of Dunbar.

Her engine had broken down, but her crew were able to repair it. The life- boat escorted her to Dunbar, reaching her station again at 8.45.—Rewards, £7..
