BROKEN FUEL PUMP At 3.57 p.m. on i8th April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the coaster Lady Isle of Troon had broken her fuel pump seven miles west of Sanda Island. At 4.15 the lifeboat City of Glasgow II proceeded in west-north-westerly wind of gale force with a choppy sea. The tide was ebbing.

The Lady Isle reported that temporary repairs had been carried out and she was able to proceed, but asked for the lifeboat to escort her to port. The life-boat met the Lady Isle at Sanda Sound and escorted her to Campbeltown, returning to her station at 8 p.m. The owners of the coaster made a donation to the Institution's funds..
