MAY 17TH. - MONTROSE, AND ARBROATH, ANGUS. A vessel had been reported on fire. It was a Liberator aeroplane which had crashed in the sea. A naval launch arrived first and picked up two bodies. The Arbroath life-boat did not launch, but her coxswain and motor-mechanic went in the air-sea rescue boat to save time.
