St. David's, and Angle, Pembroke- shire.—At 10.25 on the night of the 28th of March, 1952, the St. David's coastguard telephoned the St. David's life-boat station that red flares had been seen eight miles north-west by north of the coastguard station and at 11.0 the life-boat Civil Service No. 6 was launched. The sea was very rough, with a strong east-north-east gale blowing. The life-boat found the motor vessel Globe, of Groningen, drifting ten miles north-north-west of St. David's Head with her engines broken down. She needed a tug.

The life-boat stood by her until she had anchored about four miles south by west of Smalls. She then returned to her station, arriving at 9.30 on the morning of the 29th.

The tug Dexterous towed the Globe to Falmouth.

The Angle life-boatmen had as- sembled at ten o'clock in the morning of the 29th, but a tug left Pembroke Dock and they were dismissed at 10.25. At 6.32 that night the Tenby coastguard telephoned the Angle life- boat station that the Globe was in distress twenty-two miles west-by- north of St. Annes Head, and at seven o'clock the life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched. She searched widely, but did not find the vessel and reached her station again at seven o'clock the next morning. •—Re- wards, St. David's, £26 10s.; Angle, £40 6s. 6d..
