OLD WARSHIP ADRIFT Holynead, Anglesey.—At 9.5 in the morning of the 24th of March, 1947, the coastguard telephoned that an SOS had been picked up by Seaforth and Plymouth Wireless Stations giving a bearing six miles south-west of Holyhead. A north-westerly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat A.E.D. was launched at 9.40 and two hours later found the Cyclops, an old warship. She had been in tow of tugs from the Clyde to Newport to be broken up, but high seas had compelled the tugs to cast off. The eight men on board climbed down a rope ladder into the life-boat and she landed them at Holyhead at 1.40 that afternoon. Later the Cyclops was taken in tow by another tug.— Rewards, £12..
