Campbeltown, Argyllshire. At 11.53 on the morning of the 13th of August, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat with three people on board was being carried across Kilbrannon Sound. At 12.8 the life-boat City of Glasgow //put out in a choppy sea with a fresh east- south-easterly wind blowing and an ebb tide. While the life-boat was making for the position a message was received that another boat had taken the casualty in tow, and the life-boat was recalled.

On the way back the coxswain saw that the yacht Suantrai was ashore on French Point, and he altered course. A rope was put aboard the Suantrai, which had four people aboard, and she was towed off. The life-boat then returned to her station with the yacht in tow, arriving at 1.55. Rewards to the crew, £6..
