On 14th January a man from Dinmor Quarry saw an aeroplane apparently nose-dive either on to Puffin Island or into the sea, and reported it to the Coastguard, who notified the Life-boat Station.

This was at 3.30 P.M. The Motor Life- boat Frederick Kitchen was promptly launched. A whole S.W. gale was blowing, with a steep breaking sea.

The Life-boat cruised round the island, but could find no sign of the aeroplane.

In the meantime the Coastguard learned that the machine had landed safely near Chester, and re-called the Life- boat. The pilot of the aeroplane, the Hon. Mrs. Victor Bruce, wrote and expressed her thanks for the action taken.-—Rewards, £12 Is. 6d..
