Fishguard, Pembrokeshire—During the afternoon of the 6th of March, 1947, the Ministry of Food in Haverfordwest asked the life-boat to take food to Porthgain as the roads were impassable owing to heavy snowfalls. It was arranged that she should embark the stores on the following day, and about four hundred loaves were put on board.

At the same time the coastguard asked if the life-boat would also take relief coastguardmen to Strumble Head. The motor life-boat White Star, with food officials and the coastguard reliefs on board, was launched at 2.0 in the after- noon. A south-westerly breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth. She landed the coastguardmen at Strumble Head, took the off-duty men aboard, put the provisions ashore at Porthgain, and returned to her station at 8.15 in the evening. — Rewards, £16 14s., which were paid by the Ministry of Food..
