Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire. — About 8.45 on the morning of the 13th of September, 1950, the life-boat coxswain saw a motor launch apparently in difficulties about a third of a mile west-south-west of the Gimblet Rock.

She was dragging her anchor close in- shore. At 9.14 the life-boat Man- chester and Salford XXIX was launched in a rough sea and rapidly freshening south-westerly wind. She found the motor launch Brownie, of Abersoch, with one man on board, broken down and her mainsail halyards jammed.

The life-boat towed her into harbour, arriving back at her station at ten o'clock.—Rewards, £5 5*..
