Portpatrick, Wigtownshire. At 3.1 on the afternoon of the 12th of July, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat was being driven southwards one mile from Portpatrick and needed help. The message was passed by radio-telephone to the life-boat Jeanie Speirs, which was already at sea on exercise. There was a slight sea and a light southerly wind was blowing. The life-boat made for the position and took the dinghy Janet, which had two people on board, in tow to Portpatrick harbour, arriving at 3.45.

Rewards to the crew, £7. This figure includes the exercise payment..
