Thurso, Caithness-shire - At 6.2 p.m. on 2nd May, 1966, it was reported that a small fishing boat was drifting on to rocks at St. John's Point, Mey. Thelife-boat Pentland (Civil Service No. 31) was launched at 6.30 in a slight south easterly wind and a slight sea. It was one hour before high water. When she was off Dunnet Head the life-boat received an R/T message that the casualty - the m.f.v. Rose Valley of Wick - was underway and proceeding slowly towards Stroma harbour. As the vessel's engine was still faulty the life-boat towed her to Scrabster harbour, arriving back on station at 11.35..
