Arbroath, Angus.—At six o'clock on the morning of the 13th of August, 1956, the coastguard rang up to say that the fishing fleet was returning to harbour and that the conditions at the bar were dangerous. The life-boat Tine Duke of Montrose was launched at 6.20. There was a heavy sea, a fresh to whole south-south-westerly gale was blowing, and it was high water.

Five fishing boats had already entered the harbour. The life-boat crossed the bar and escorted two other boats into the harbour, arriving back at her station at 11.30.—Rewards to the crew, £14 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 11s..
