Islay, Hebrides. At 11.53 on the morning of the 15th of July, 1960, a report was received that the motor vessel Universal Dipchick was calling for the assistance of a life-boat as she had lost her anchor and was drifting towards the Black Rock reef with her main en- gine out of action. The life-boat Francis W. Wotherspoon of Paisley put out at 12.12 in a moderate northerly breeze and a choppy sea. It was two hours after high water. The life-boat came up with the vessel, which had a crew of six, three hundred yards off the rocks and succeeded in taking her in tow. The life-boat reached her station at 1.45.
