They had got out their lines when a sudden squall struck the boat (the morning was showry , wind nearly N.E.) and cap(sizing) it about half past 6 in the morning, and between 3 and 4 miles from land. Andrew Christie was thrown out at once and it is supposed he received a blow somewhere as he was never seen. John Leiper was seen for a moment lying on his back in the hollow of the sail and again clinging to the yawl. But he also was washed off and sank. The three older men were picked off the wreck of the boat by another Stranathara one (É Alexander Laws). Alexander Christie very little worse but James Christie was much exhausted and Alexander Leiper more so and for a time it was feared he would not recover but he got better. 187920 1 Stranathro, Fetteresso, Kincardine 1881 British Census468 Albert Lane Dunnottar, Kincardine, Scotland James CHRISTIE Head M 60 White Fisher Fettresso, Kincardine Mary CHRISTIE Wife M 60 Portlethan, Kincardine | ||||||||||||||||||
