— At 5.30 P.M. on 25th September it was reported to the Honorary Secretary that the little fishing smack Dobell, of Carnarvon, was out in Barmouth Bay and was making for port, the weather having suddenly become squally and boisterous, and blowing strong from S. S. W. The Honorary Secretary took his " glass " and went to see how the smack was faring. He found that she was almost on the bar ; and the next moment she stranded in heavy seas, having carried away some of her sails. Realis- ing that if help was not promptly forth- coming the smack would be wrecked and her two occupants perish, the Honorary Secretary called out the Life- boat Jones-Gibb with all speed. In less than half an hour the Life-boat reached the Dohell and brought both the men and the boat into the harbour safely..
