Glad Tidings (1)

SEPTEMBER 23RD. - WICK, CAITHNESSSHIRE.

At 10.30 P .M. a message was received from the coastguard that the motor fishing boat Glad Tidings, of Lybster, had not returned. A strong N.W. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. At 11.50 P.M. the motor life-boat City of Edinburgh was launched and found the Glad Tidings about eight miles off the coast, broken down without sails, lights or food. She rescued her crew of four, took their boat in tow and arrived at her station again at 4.50 A.M. the next morning. - Rewards, £9 1s..
