TORPEDO BOAT TAKEN IN TOW Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—On Decem- ber 30th, 1946, the motor torpedo boat R.M.L. 539, which was in tow of the tug Queensgarth, parted her tow-line during a gale five miles off the Smalls on the Pembrokeshire coast, and at about eight o'clock next morn- ing, January 1st, 1947, the coastguard saw what he thought to be the torpedo boat drifting two miles west-north-west of the Strumble Head. As she was a danger to shipping he asked that the life-boat should tow her to Fishguard. A south-westerly breeze was blowing and there was a swell. The motor life-boat White Star was launched at 9.0 in the morning, took the R.M.L. 539 in tow and moored her in the harbour, arriving back at her station at 1.30 in the afternoon.—-Property Salvage Case..
