CREW WERE SAFE Mallaig, Inverness-shire. At 4.10 a.m. on loth November, 1963, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the m.f.v. Famous was ashore on Station Point. There was a light north-easterly breeze with a slight sea, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat EMM. Gordon Gubbin set out at 4.45 and reached the vessel at five o'clock. The crew were found to be quite safe and it was decided to return to harbour and wait for the flood tide. The life-boat put out again at 8.40 and returned to the vessel and a tow rope was made fast. As the tide flooded the Famous was towed clear of the rocks and escorted into harbour.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 12.15 P-m-.
