Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—At 12.15 on the morning of the 22nd of Sep- tember, 1956, the Southend coast- guard telephoned that a red rocket had been seen five miles south-east-by-east of the look-out. At 12.39 the life- boat City of Glasgow 77 put out.

There was a slight sea, a gentle easterly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. A wireless message was later received from the tug Flying Typhoon that the vessel in need of help was the steam puffer Sealight, of Greenock, and that she had a bad list to port. The tug had taken off the Sealight's crew of five, and the message stated that she was going to attempt to beach her. The life-boat continued on her way, and at 1.50 the tug reported that the Sealight was now on her beam ends and that she was still trying to continue with the tow. The life-boat came up with the two vessels and escorted them to Campbeltown, which was reached at five o'clock.— Rewards to the crew, £11 Is.; reward to the helper on shore, 16s..
