White Wings

Barry Dock, Glamorganshire.—While the motor life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was out on exercise on the 25th June, 1938, a yacht was seen flying a distress signal about a mile S.W. of Lavernock Point. A strong W.N.W.

breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.

The life-boat altered her course, and found the auxiliary yacht White Wings, of Cardiff, with her engine broken down and her sails blown away. She carried a crew of four and was cruising from Cardiff. The life-boat towed her to Barry, and returned to her station at 7.30 P.M. A donation was received from the owner.—Rewards, £5 9s..
