A Cabin Cruiser

Broughry Ferry, Angus.—At 3.47 on the morning of the 30th of June, 1957, the Dundee police telephoned that a cabin cruiser was drifting up the River Tay towards the Tay bridge and was in danger of colliding with the stone piers of the Tay railway bridge. At 4.14 the life-boat Mona was launched in calm weather. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat came up with the cabin cruiser, but there was no one on board.

She took her in tow to Dundee harbour and reached her station at 5.35. The owner wrote a letter of thanks.—Re- wards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 9s..
