Loch Loy, of Nairn

SEPTEMBER 22ND. - CROMARTY. At 5.20 in the afternoon the Burghead coastguard reported the motor fishing vessel Loch Loy, of Nairn, in difficulties three miles northeast- by-north of Nairn. A south-westerly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat John Russell, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 5.45 and found the Loch Loy drifting, with her engine broken down, five miles north-east-by-north of Nairn. She had five men on board. The life-boat stood by until flood tide and then towed the boat into Nairn, returning to her station at 12.30 next morning. - Rewards, £7 17s. 6d..
