Holyhead, Anglesey. —• On the after- noon of the 20th of May, 1950, it was learned through the Trinity House Depot that a boat was needed to fetch a sick man from the Skerries lighthouse.

The Trinity House vessel was not available, and so at 4.30 the life-boat A.E.D. left her moorings, with a relief keeper on board. There was a ground swell and a north-easterly breeze.

Keepers were exchanged and the life- boat returned to Holyhead at 6.25.— Rewards, £4 15s. Repaid to the Institution by the Trinity House..
