NUMBED WITH COLD Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire. — At 4.5 in the afternoon of the 3rd of December, 1947, the coastguard reported that the motor fishing boat Sea Breeze, of Aber- ayron, was making distress signals about a quarter of a mile off Llanon.

The motor life-boat Frederick Angus was launched at 4.30, in a fresh south- easterly breeze, with a moderate sea, and found the Sea Breeze, with her engine broken down, lying at anchor in a very dangerous position near a stony beach and Cadwgan reef. She passed a tow-line to her, but the two men of her crew were so cold that they could not make it fast, so the life-boat's ' bowman went on board to do it for them, and the life-boat towed the boat into harbour, arriving back at her station at 8.35 that evening.—Rewards, £33 19*..
