JANUARY 29TH. - ANSTRUTHER, FIFESHIRE.

At 3.15 P.M. Mr. A. N. Cunningham, a member of the local committee, reported that the motor fishing boat Valkerye, of Pittenweem, lying just off the harbour, was showing distress signals, and the motor life-boat Nellie and Charlie was launched at 3.25 P.M. A strong S.W. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea, and the life-boat found that the Valkerye’s engine had broken down and that her anchor was dragging. She had a crew of four. Within a quarter of an hour of launching the life-boat had towed her into harbour. - Rewards, £9 16s..
