On the morning of the 2nd April the yacht Y Draig, of Portmadoc, left Aberyst- wyth harbour for a cruise in the bay.

There were four persons on board.

The wind was blowing fresh from the E.N.E. By 11 A.M. it had increased to half a gale, and it was noticed that a motor boat had made for the yacht and was taking her in tow. When it was seen that the boats were not making headway the motor life-boat Frederick Angus was sent out in case her help was wanted, and she was launched at 11.52 A.M. A strong E.N.E. breeze was blowing and the sea was rough.

The life-boat stood by while the motor boat towed the yacht to a safe anchor- age, and returned to her station at 12.40 P.M.—Rewards, £9 8s..
