Whitehills, Banffshire.—At 6.22 on the evening of the 4th of August, 1957, the coastguard telephoned to say a small boat had broken down and needed help two miles north-west of Banff. The life-boat St. Andrew (Civil Service No. 10) was launched at 6.50 in a calm sea. There was a light southerly breeze blowing and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the motor boat Morning Star and also the motor boat Fame, which had put out to assist the Morning Star, and had herself broken down. Both boats had one man aboard, and the life-boat towed them both to Banff harbour. She then returned to her station, arriving at 8.45.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 2s..
