MAN RESCUED FROM DRIFTING DINGHY Stronsay, Orkneys. At 10.10 on the morning of the 18th June, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a man was adrift in a dinghy off Noup Head and was being blown out to sea. A near southsouth- easterly gale was blowing, and the sea was rough. At 10.40 the lifeboat The John Gellatly Hyndman put out on the flooding tide. She found the dinghy five miles off Noup Head with the man still on board. He was taken on board the life-boat little the worse for his experience. The dinghy was then hoisted on board, and the life-boat made for Pierowall pier, where the man and the dinghy were landed. The life-boat crew were given tea at the Pierowall hotel by members of the Westray ladies' life-boat guild.

The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at seven o'clock in the evening..
