New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 6.50 in the evening, on the 31st of July, 1950, the Aberayron police telephoned that a motor boat from Aberayron was flying distress signals six miles north- east of New Quay. At 7.10 the life- boat St. Albans was launched. There was a rough sea, and a strong breeze blowing from the south-south-west.

She came up with the motor boat Kittiwake off Llannon with a school- master on board. He had been fishing, but his engine had broken down. The life-boat rescued him, towed in his boat and reached her station again at 9.30 that night.—Rewards, £11 19s..
