APRIL 28TH. - BROUGHTY FERRY, ANGUS. At 9.45 at night a message was received from the Carnoustie coastguard station that a fishing boat was in need of help a mile and a half east-south-east of the station. A strong north-west wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At ten o’clock the motor life-boat Mona was launched. The night was dark, the fishing boat drifting, and the life-boat had great difficulty in finding her. At 10.55 she received a wireless message giving the approximate position and in a short time found the fishing boat, the Annie, of Westhaven, anchored, half-a-mile southeast of Westhaven. She had two men on board, both very exhausted. The life-boat rescued them, gave them rum, took their boat in tow and brought them to Broughty Ferry.

She returned to her station at 1.20 next morning. - Rewards, £9 6s..
