Anstruther, Fife - At 7.50 p.m. on 6th August, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small motor boat was in difficulties off the north side of May island and was drifting westwards. The life-boat The Doctors was launched at 8.12 in a light breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was ebbing. When the life-boat went alongside the motor boat Conquest they found seven people on board - three men, three children and one woman. The woman and children were taken on board the lifeboat and the boat was taken in tow to East pier where they were landed. Owing to low water the life-boat was unable to berth until 1.30 p.m. on 7th August..
