MAY 17TH. - ARBROATH, ANGUS. Late at night it was learnt that the local fishing boat Floreat was three hours overdue.

Although the weather was fine the motor lifeboat John and William Mudie was launched at midnight to search for her. She found her about two miles out and escorted her home at 1 A.M. on the 18th. The Floreat was not in distress but had been late in leaving the fishing grounds. - Rewards, £4 16s..
