Little John
Moelfre, Anglesey.—At 1.45 in the afternoon of the 24th of April, 1950, the Holyhead coastguard telephoned that a trawler in Moelfre Bay was flying a signal asking for a boat to stand by her. At 2.15, therefore, the life-boat G.W. was launched. The sea was very rough with a northerly gale. She came up with the steam trawler Little John, of Milford Haven, with a crew of thir- teen, at anchor east of the life-boat station, and making water through her propeller shaft. At the request of the skipper, the life-boat escorted the Little John to the Menai Straits. She then returned to her station, arriving at 8.15 that evening.—Rewards, £16 5s..
