Stronsay, Orkney Islands. At 6.25 on the evening of the 10th of August, 1960, a local resident told the honorary secre- tary that a fishing boat was in difficulties close in to Warness and needed assist- ance. The life-boat John Gellatly Hynd- man was launched at 6.45 in a strong north-north-easterly breeze and a rough sea. It was two hours before low water.

The life-boat found the fishing-boat Jean with her engine out of order and a crew of two on board, and towed her to Eday pier. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.5. Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, 12s..
