St. David's, Pembrokeshire.—At 8.55 on the night of the 2nd of April, 1948, the St. Ann's Head coastguard tele- phoned that a message had been re- ceived from a resident of Wooltack Point, that his brother, Mr. Codd, had left for Skemer Island in his motor boat that afternoon and that a bonfire had been lit on the island and a lamp could be seen being moved to and fvo.

A later message said that S.O.S. signals were being made with the lamp, and at 9.45 the motor life-boat Civil Service No. 6 was launched. A fresh north- north-west gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found that Mr. Codd's daughter had injured her head and was unconscious. The life- boat took Mr. Codd and two friends on board and .towed the motor boat to Martin's Haven. There the three men landed and got a doctor. The life-boat took him out to Skomer. He treated the patient and restored her to con- sciousness. The life-boat brought him to the mainland-again and towed the motor boat with Mr. Codd and the other two men back to Skomer, arriving at 3.45 in the morning. She stayed at the island until 5.30 and arrived back at her station at 6.45 that morning.— Rewards, £18 4s..
