Wick, Caithness-shire.—At 2.57 on the afternoon of the 10th of August, 1956, the coastguard reported that the Norwegian vessel Pan had engine trouble six miles south-east of Dun- cansby Head and needed help imme- diately. The life-boat City of Edin- burgh was launched at 8.20. There was a rough sea, a moderate to fresh southerly breeze was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat put a man aboard the Pan, which had a crew of thirty, and stood by until the trawler Lincoln City came up and took the Pan in tow. The life-boat es- corted the vessels for a time and then returned to her station, arriving at nine o'clock at night.—Rewards to the crew, £9 12,?.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
