FISHING VESSEL TOWED TO HARBOUR Campbeltown, Argyllshire. At 1.43 on the afternoon of the llth August, 1962, a resident at Penivar informed the honorary secretary that a motor fishing vessel had apparently broken down and was drifting in the direction of Arran.

The lighthouse-keeper at Davaar was asked to confirm this, and at 1.54 the life-boat City of Glasgow II left her moorings. There was a strong southwesterly wind and a moderate sea. It was nearly low water. The life-boat found the motor fishing vessel Betima, with a crew of three, three miles east of Davaar lighthouse. She took her in tow to Campbeltown harbour, and there the engine was restarted. During the attempt to berth her her engine broke down again, and the life-boat therefore towed the vessel alongside the pier, where she was moored. The life-boat reached her own moorings at 3.36..
