East Lothian lifeboat crews race to rescue capsized kayaker
East Lothian lifeboat crews were called to rescue a capsized kayaker near North Berwick after they could be seen clinging onto the hull of the small watercraft. The North Berwick RNLI crew were alerted to the incident after concerned members of the public called the coastguard to report that a kayak had capsized at around 7.29pm on Saturday, July 26. Volunteer crew members jumped into action, leaving the North Berwick Pipe Band's 125 th Anniversary, making their way through crowds on foot and bike to help the person in distress. Once on the water, the crew were on the scene within 7 minutes and the Aberdeen Coastguard Rescue Coordination Centre were able to direct them to the casualty.

'Despite being a little tired from grappling with the slippery kayak for at least half an hour, the casualty was fit and well. We thank the members of the public who called 999 for the Coastguard straight away, which enable a swift and successful outcome for the casualty.' 'If you're heading out on the water, even the most experienced of us can get caught out by the conditions. Always wear a lifejacket or buoyancy aid, carry a waterproofed means of calling for help and tell someone ashore of your plans. If you find yourself in difficulty in the water, try not to panic, but float on your back to conserve energy.' The casualty was checked over before being landed ashore at Yellowcraig Beach and handed into the care of North Berwick Coastguard Rescue Team and awaiting family.

105 years ago: Steamer King Edward spotted on a trial trip on the Clyde (1920)
This is a snapshot of the reconditioned turbine steamer King Edward, starting on a trial trip. This fine vessel has been placed on the Campbeltown route, and the Queen Alexandra now takes the Inverary trip daily. King Edward steamer in 1920 (Image: Archive) A scene like this may be enjoyed by the pedestrian along the Greenock Esplanade about nine o'clock any morning when the turbine steamers start off on their day's cruising. Shipping notes from 1920... A valuable consignment of timber came to Greenock last night by the Donaldson liner Cabotia. This vessel was in from Montreal and Quebec, and has gone to the James Watt Dock to discharge her timber. She will afterwards proceed to Glasgow with general cargo. After loading bunker coal at the James Watt Dock, the large Belfast steamer Melmore Head sailed on last night's tide for Montreal. Two vessels left the East India dry dook on the late tide yesterday after overhaul. One was Lang & Fulton's coasting steamer Ardgarth, and the other the foreign schooner Vladimir Tornoe. The latter has gone into harbour to complete refitting, while the Ardgarth is to-day adjusting compasses at the Tail-of-the-Bank prior to resuming her sailings. Official speed trials are being carried out in the firth to-day by the new Dutch steamer Saland, which came down the river from Glasgow yesterday. She is afterwards to go to Amsterdam, to begin her service, and may leave the Clyde this evening.

She went to Glasgow about a fortnight ago to load general cargo for her first voyage, which is to China ports, and she goes first to Liverpool to complete her cargo.
