At about 3.30 P.M. on the 18th October information came that a fishing boat was in distress to the north-east of Llandudno Bay. A strong westerly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.

The motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched, and found the rowing fishing boat Barbara, of Llandudno, about three miles off.

She was being blown out to sea in a half-sunken condition and her crew of three were in a state of exhaustion.

The men were rescued and taken aboard the life-boat, which also brought the boat into the bay at 4.35 P.M.— Rewards, £12..
