Aberdeen.—At 3.41 on the afternoon of the 6th of August, 1955, the coast- guard telephoned that a small boat, with a crew of four, appeared to be in difficulty and drifting southwards two and a half miles south-east of Findon Ness. At four o'clock the No. 1 life- boat J. W. Archer, on temporary duty at the station, put out. The sea was moderate, there was a moderate north- westerly breeze, and it was high water.

The life-boat made for the position, and three miles south of Findon Ness found the motor vessel Glamis stand- ing bv the yacht Westward Ho, of Aberdeen, which had broken down.

The life-boat towed the yacht to Stonehaven and reached her station again at 9.15.—Rewards to the crew, £12 13s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, etc., 18s..
