Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.—-At 2.45 in the afternoon of the 10th of April, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was in distress two miles north-by-west of Great Orme Lighthouse, and at 3.36 the life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched. The sea was choppy with a fresh south-westerly breeze blowing.

The life-boat found the fishing boat Liver Bird, of Conway, with a man and his dog on board. The man had badly injured his finger and his boat had broken down. The life-boatmen gave him first aid, towed the boat to Conway, and reached their station again at 9.15 that night.—Rewards, £18 10s..
