A Rubber Dinghy (1)

Holyhead, Anglesey.—At 5.15 in the evening, on the 13th of May, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that three menin a rubber dinghy were drifting sea- wards off Ty-Croes. At 5.25 the life- boat A.E.D. was launched in a calm sea with a light easterly breeze blowing.

She found the dinghy two and a half miles south of Rhoscolyn Beacon, and rescued the three men, who were soldiers from Ty-Croes Camp. Then she returned to her station, arriving at 9.5 that night.—Rewards, £6 18s..
