Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.—At 12.40 in the afternoon of the 6th of April, 1947, a message was received from the piermaster that a yacht was drifting about two miles offshore and flying distress signals. A south-south-west gale was blowing, with a rough sea.

The motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched at one o'clock and came up with the sailing yacht Sark two miles off Penrhyn Bay.

She had a crew of five. Her steering gear and sails had carried away. JVith great difficulty "the life-boat passed a tow-rope to her and towed her to Llandudno. She reached her station again at four o'clock.—Rewards, £16.
