STRANDED IN FOG Anstruther, Fife. At 9.15 a.m.

on 22nd May, 1964, a representative of a boatbuilders' firm at St. Monance asked if the life-boat would help the motor fishing vessel Integrity of St. Monance which had stranded in fog off Kikenny Mill. The fire service had put a pump aboard the Integrity, which was pounding slightly, in case she made water as the tide rose. At 9.33 the life-boat James and Ruby Jackson, with the second coxswain in charge, was launched in a smooth sea, calm weather and poor visibility. The tide was 3j hours flood. The life-boat stood by the Integrity, which had a crew of six, and passed a tow rope from her to the fishing vessel Fidelis. At 12.15 p.m. the Integrity refloated and made for St.

Monance under her own power, and the life-boat returned to her station at 12.45..
