Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—At 1.50 in the morning, on the 17th of Septem- ber, 1950, the I3ritish Railways' berthing master telephoned that a small yacht was drifting' towards the North break- water and making S.O.S. signals with a torch. At 2.32 the life-boat White Star was launched. The sea was very rough, with a south - westerly gale blowing. She found the avtxiliai'y yacht Simba about a quarter of a mile from the north breakwater lighthouse, with one man on board. She had parted both her anchors and was drift- ing. The life-boat took her in tow, but the rope broke; however, she got another line aboard, towed her in, and arrived back at her station at 4.15.

The rescued man expressed his thanks.
