A Rowing Boat

Moelfre, Anglesey.—On the 21st of July, 1951, two visitors who had hired a rowing boat got too far out.

Unable to get back they drifted out to sea. When they did not return and could not be seen the owner raised an alarm. A small steamer which came into the bay reported that she had not seen the boat. So at 3.10 in the afternoon the life-boat G.W. was launched in a smooth sea with a light easterly wind blowing. She found the boat three miles north of Moelfre Island and brought her and her two occupants back to safety, arriving at 4.30.—Rewards, £6 14s..
