Angle, Pembrokeshire.—On the afternoon of the 6th September the coast watcher at St. Ann's Head telephoned that a Royal Air Force flying-boat was making SOS signals. A moderate S.E. gale was blowing, and the weather was thick. The sea was rough. The motor life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched at 2.45 P.M., and eventually found the flying-boat S.1423 about fourteen miles S.S.W. of Sheep Island, in tow of a steamer. She had broken a wing, and asked the life-boat to stand by her. Shortly afterwards she signalled that her crew of six wished to be taken off. With great difficulty, owing to the wings and the tow-rope, the life-boat got alongside. The first man fell into the sea, but was rescued by lines, and the remainder of the crew were taken into the life-boat without mishap. Shortly afterwards the flyingboat sank. When the life-boat got back into the smoother waters of Milford Haven she was met by a Royal Air Force tender. The six men were transferred to her, and the life-boat returned to her station at 8 P.M. The Institution received a letter of thanks from the Air Commodore Commanding Coastal Area, Royal Air Force, in which he wrote that the " promptness with which the SOS call was answered and the seamanlike manner in which the boat was handled was admired by all."—Rewards, £9 13s. 6d..
