— On the afternoon of the 27th July a strong and squally N. wind suddenly got up, with a rough sea. A small sailing boat, with one man on board, was seen about two and a half miles S.E. of the Gimblet Rock, making very little headway against the wind and tide. Later she started to drift to leeward, and the motor life-boat William McPherson was launched at 4 P.M., the honorary secretary accompanying her. She picked the boat up and towed her into Pwllheli harbour. The man on board was an ex-coxswain of the life-boat.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 5 P.M.—Rewards, £2 13s..
