Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire. — On the llth March, 1939, the life-boat motor mechanic saw a sailing yacht which appeared to be in difficulties about three miles S.E. of the life-boathouse.

A moderate N.N.W. gale was blowing, with a moderate sea and rain squalls.

The motor life-boat William Macpherson was launched at 4.45 P.M. She found the sailing yacht Minnie II, of Pwllheli, with three R.A.F. officers on board. The yacht's head sails had been carried away in a squall and she was unmanageable. The life-boat took her in tow and brought her safely into Pwllheli Harbour at 5.25 P.M. A letter of thanks and a donation were received from one of the rescued.—Rewards, £11 14s. 9d..
