Broughty Ferry, Angus. At 2.15 on the afternoon of the 28th of July, 1959, the police at Cupar asked the pilot station at Broughty Ferry for the assistance of the pilot boat as a body had been found floating ten miles off the mouth of the Tay by the Polish fishing boat Kaszuby. The pilot boat was not available, and the message was passed to the honorary secretary, who decided to launch the life-boat Mona, as the body was required by the Public Prosecutor. The life-boat put out at 4.30 in a slight swell. There was a moderate south-easterly wind and it was low water. The body was recovered, landed at Tayport and handed over to the police. The police sent a letter of appreciation to the honorary secretary.

Rewards to the crew, £12 16s. ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £2 12s.
