Skipper drowned at Rothesay DONALD M’Vean, master of the yawl Armide, at present at anchor in Rothesay Bay, was drowned on Monday night.
The Armide is engaged in what is known as the Albatross Mission, and a party of those on board have been conducting evangelistic meetings on Rothesay Esplanade during the past two weeks.
The captain was at the pier in charge of a boat waiting to row out to the two men who had been at the meeting – Mr Neil M’Intyre and Joseph Moodie, a young lad, who acts as a cabin boy, and also sings at the meetings.
