St. Abbs, Berwickshire.—Early on the morning of the 22nd of March, 1955, the local fishing boat True Vine put out with a crew of four. She had not returned by mid-day, and at 12.35, half an hour before high water, the life- boat W. Ross Macarthur of Glasgow was launched, with the second coxswain in charge. The sea was rough, and a moderate south-easterly breeze was blowing. The Cockburnspath coast- guard later reported that a fishing boat could be seen about seven miles north- west of St. Abbs, and the life-boat found her to be the True Vine. Her engine had broken down, and the life- boat towed her to St. Abbs, reaching her station again at 2.50.—Rewards, £8 19s..
