Tenby, Pembrokeshire. — At 2.35 in the afternoon, on the 17th of October, 1950, the coastguard reported that a motor yacht, apparently deserted, was drifting, about a mile from Manorbier Point. At 2.45 the life-boat John R.

Webb was launched in a moderately rough sea with a south-westerly breeze.

She went to the motor yacht, which was then reported three and a half miles west of Caldy Light, and at 3.35 found her. She was the Sunwood, of Fal- mouth. There was no one aboard; so after putting two life-boatmen on the yacht, the life-boat took her in tow, and brought her safely to Tenby Bay, although the tow rope parted twice before she arrived at five o'clock.

The yacht was a vessel of about twenty- five tons. Her crew of three had previously been taken oft by the motor vessel Jade, of Glasgow.—Property Salvage Case..
