BOAT BEING SWEPT OUT TO SEA Holyhead, Anglesey.—At 10.50 on the night of the 30th of May, 1947, the coastguard reported that a sailing boat was becalmed and drifting off the breakwater. The motor life-boat A.E.D. was launched at eleven o'clock in a light variable breeze and a swell.

She found the local sailing boat Junior off North Stack, in danger of being swept out to sea, took off her crew of three and towed the boat to Holyhead, arriving at 12.10 next morning.—Rewards, £4 105..
