Red Hackle

SEPTEMBER 10TH. - ARBROATH, ANGUS.

At 7.57 in the evening a fisherman reported the local fishing boat Red Hackle in difficulties and drifting towards the rocks a mile west of the harbour. A south-easterly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor lifeboat John and William Mudie was launched at eight o’clock and found the fishing boat with her engine broken down. She had four on board. The life-boat towed her into harbour, arriving at 8.35. - Rewards, £9 8s..
