Thurso, Caithness-shire.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 7th of June, 1956, a report was received that a fishing vessel had broken down off Crosskirk, near Brimness. At 10.50 the life-boat Dunnet Head, Civil Service No. 31 was launched in a moderate sea, with a moderate south-south-easterly wind blowing and an ebbing tide. She found the motor fishing vessel Falcon, of Buckle, leaking badly. She trans- ferred three of her crew of four, her skipper remaining on board, and towed her to Scrabster, arriving back at 1.50.
