Stronsay, Orkneys.—At four o'clock on the morning of the 2nd of January, 1957, the Kirkwall coastguard tele- phoned that the trawler Neath Castle, of Grimsby, had an injured man on board. She was being towed by the motor vessel Stoke City forty-five miles north-north-west of North Ronald- shay. At 4.55 the life-boat John Gellatly Hyndman put out. There was a very rough sea, a moderate southerly gale was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made for theposition, and after careful manoeuvring the coxswain brought her alongside the trawler. The injured man was trans- ferred and taken to Kirkwall. The life-boat arrived there at 9.45 after encountering very heavy seas and returned to her station at 1.45 the next morning.—Rewards to the crsw, £46 5s.; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
