Dozmare

Moelfre, Anglesey.—During the afternoon of the 6th June, 1938, the Holyhead coastguard telephoned that a small sailing yacht had been reported making heavy weather about four miles out to sea. Owing to bad visibility, it was not possible to see if she was making distress signals. A south gale was blowing, with a rough sea and rain. The motor life-boat G.W. was launched at 2.35 P.M. and found the yacht to be the Dozmare, of Carnarvon, bound from Holyhead to Beaumaris. She was then about sixmiles E.N.E. of Moelfre Island. She was under control, but having a very rough time, and her crew were glad to see the life-boat. The life-boat escorted her to Beaumaris, which was reached at 7.30 P.M., and eventually got back to her station at 11 P.M.—• Rewards, £10 10s..
