On the night of the 28th April the coastguard tele- phoned that two men had been ma- rooned at the foot of the cliffs at Capel Llockwyd, near South Stack. One of them had been rescued by lines from the top of the cliffs, but the other could not be persuaded to make the attempt.

The night was dark and the cliffs very steep, making it too dangerous for any- one to try to get to him from above.

In the circumstances it was decided to send out the motor life-boat A.E.D., and she left at 11.25 P.M., taking a small boat in tow. She went in as near as possible and the small boat was then sent close in with two men on board.

They rescued the man from the cliffs and transferred him to the life-boat, and he was taken to Holyhead. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.10 A.M. on the 29th.—Rewards, £11 11s..
