Note K — TALES OF THE EAST NEUK OF FIFE.

There were two vessels belonging to the company, one named the Hawk, and the other the Rising Sun. The Hawk was lost on her first voyage, and Bailie Meldrum—some time chief magistrate of Anstruther-Wester—one of the crew, lost the toes of both his feet by frost-bite. The undertaking did not prove a successful one; the company was dissolved; and the premises, which were sold to the late John Miller, senior, shipowner in Anstruther, afterwards became, as I said, the property of Mr Todd.
