TOW TAKEN OVER FROM FISHING VESSEL Stromness, Orkneys. At 10.20 on the morning of the 8th May, 1963, the chairman of the branch was informed that the fishing vessel Lily Flower needed help in Hoy Sound. The life-boat Archibald and Alexander M. Paterson was launched at 10.32 in a strong southwesterly breeze and an ebbing tide. The Lily Flower, which had two people on board, was taken in tow by the fishing vessel Kincord, which later handed over the tow to the life-boat. The life-boat returned to Stromness with the Flower in tow and reached her station at 11.15..
