Jacinth

SEPTEMBER 10TH. - DUNBAR, EAST LOTHIAN.

At 9.35 at night the Dunbar coastguard reported that the local motor fishing boat Jacinth was overdue. She was believed to be in difficulties east of North Berwick.

An east-south-east wind was blowing, and the sea was choppy. The motor life-boat Elizabeth Newton, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at ten o’clock, found the boat, and escorted her into Dunbar harbour at two next morning. - Rewards, £8 15s..
