— The motor life-boat White Star was launched at 9.15 P.M. on the 27th July, as the coastguard had telephoned that a motor fishing boat was in distress about eighty yards oft the rocks E.S.E. of Kemmaes Head. A moderate N. wind was blowing. The sea was moderate, but with heavy breakers near the shore. The life-boat found the motor fishing boat Kia Ora, of Cardigan, at anchor on a lee shore. She had been fishing, with a crew of two men and a boy, but had had to drop anchor be- cause her motor was not powerful enough to combat the wind and sea.

Her anchor had dragged a considerable distance before the life-boat, after much careful manoeuvring among the rocks, managed to reach her. The life- boat towed her to a safe anchorage at Fishguard, saving both the boat and her crew. She arrived back at her station at 3.45 A.M. on the 28th, but could not be rehoused until daylight, owing to the heavy swell.—Rewards, £8 8s..
