Beautiful Star
Dunbar, East Lothian.—During the morning of the 14th of June, 1955, it was reported that the local fishing boat Beautiful Star, which had a crew of two, was overdue. At 12.15 a message from Skateraw stated that she had been seen drifting and appar- ently in difficulties. At 12.30 the life-boat George and Sarah Strachan put out, and made a search in a choppy sea, with a fresh west-north-west breeze blowing and an ebbing tide.
She found the Beautiful Star, broken down, twelve miles south-east of Dunbar and towed her to Dunbar, arriving at three o'clock.—Rewards, £6 ISs..
