FRASERBURGH, ABERDEENSHIRE. At about 8 P.M. on the 19th April, 1939, a small yawl with a party of five boys on board got into difficulties and could not make Fraserburgh Harbour. The sea was choppy with a squally increasing S.S.W. breeze. The honorary secretary of the life-boat station did not consider it necessary to launch the life-boat, and sent out the motor boat Lily manned by four men, including the permanent motor mechanic of the life-boat. She picked up the yawl about half a mile east of Cairnbulg Beacon and brought her in. - Rewards, £1 10S., also 2s. for fuel used.

SELSEY, SUSSEX. On the 22nd April 1939, four men put out in a motor boat and landed the crew of three of a yacht. - Rewards, £2 10s., and 3s. for fuel used.
