Holyhead. Anglesey,—At 12.35 in the afternoon, on the 4th of July, 1950, the coastguard reported that red rockets were being fired by a fishing vessel off Rhoscolyn. A light easterly breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth.

At 12.46 the life-boat A.E.D. left her moorings. She found the fishing boat Forward, of Holyhead, one and a half miles west of Rhoscolyn Head, dis- abled by an engine breakdown and drifting. The life-boat took her in tow and brought her to Holyhead by ten minutes past four.—-Rewards, £6 185..
