ANOTHER FISHING BOAT TOWED IN New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 9.45 on the night of the 21st of October, 1947, the coastguard reported a vessel burning signals of distress three miles to the north of Aberayron. The pulli ng and sailing life-boat William Cantrell Ashley was launched at 10.10 in a strong south-easterly- breeze with a choppy sea, and at 11 o'clock found the motor fishing boat Seabreeze, of Aber- ayron, with a crew of two aboard, her engine broken down. She towed her into New Quay at 1.15 the follow- ing morning.—Rewards, £31 5*..
