A Rowing Boat

Holyhead, Anglesey.—At 9.25 in the evening of the 21st of July, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that a small rowing boat, with three Royal Air Force cadets on board, was in difficulties about half a mile to the eastward of Salt Island Point, and the motor life-boat Elsie, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at half-past nine in a south-westerly breeze with a choppy sea. She took off the cadets and brought them and their boat ashore at 10.30.—Rewards, £4 10s..
