Dunbar, East Lothian. At 6.15 on the evening of the 30th of June, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat was ashore at Beggars Scalp off Seacliff coastguard look-out, but was in no apparent danger. Twenty minutes later a message was received that the boat ashore was the pleasure motor boat St. Nicholas of North Berwick and that the passengers were on a rock surrounded by twelve feet of water. At 6.50 the life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was launched in a slight swell. A light easterly wind was blowing, with fog, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat reached the position and found that the pleasure boat's passengers had been put ashore by rafts and that two of the St. Nicholas' crew were remaining on board until she refloated on the next tide. The life- boat stood by, and when the motor boat refloated escorted her to North Berwick. The life-boat reached her station at two o'clock in the morning.

Rewards to the crew, £18. 10s..
