The motor cruiser Penton, of Cardiff, with three men on board, was making for Barry on the night of the 25th-26th June, when, through a defect in her machinery, she was obliged to anchor near Friars Point. Her anchors dragged and she lighted a flare for help. This was seen by a police constable, who signalled by morse to the Signal Station, and the Life-boat was called out at 12,30 A.M. on the 26th. The Motor Life- boat Prince David found that the motor cruiser had already been taken in tow by a tug, so returned to her Station, arriving at 2.15 A.M. The owner of the Penton wrote expressing his thanks for the action taken by the Life-boat.— Rewards, £9 9s..
