JULY 17TH. - TROON, AYRSHIRE. At 8.30 in the morning information came from Troon pilot house that a small fishing boat was flying a flag and appeared to have broken down three miles south-west of Troon. At 6.45 the motor life-boat Sir David Richmond of Glasgow was launched in a fresh northeasterly wind, with a moderate sea. She found the local fishing boat Peggy, with two on board, among the rocks at Lady Isle.

She had had a rope round her propeller. Her crew had managed to clear it away. Then her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Troon harbour, arriving at 10.45.
