New Quay,Cardiganshire.—At 1.55 on the afternoon of the 18th of August, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a boat was reported in difficulties be- tween five and six miles north-east of New Quay. There was a shirt flying from her mast-head. At 2.20 the life- boat St. Albans was launched in a rough sea with a moderate southerly breeze blowing. She found the auxi- liary fishing boat CA.5, of Aberayron, broken down, and rescued her crew of three, towing the boat to New Quay.

She got back to her station at 4.0.

The Aberystwyth life - boat crew assembled, but were not needed.— Rewards, £10 5*..
