The Mumbles, Glamorganshire.—At 1.30 in the afternoon of the 9th of June, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker Wave Master, of London, bound from the Persian Gulf, had asked for a boat to land the chief officer's wife, who had badly injured her hand with a large fish hook. At 1.55 the life-boat T.B.B.H., on temporary duty at the station, was launched, in a calm sea with a light westerly breeze blowing.

She found the tanker two miles south of Mumbles Head, took the woman and her husband on board, and landed them at Swansea Docks, where an ambulance was waiting. The life-boat remained there for two hours, waiting for the tide. As she was about to leave, the ambulance returned to the docks with the injured woman and her husband. The life-boat took them on board, put them on the tanker, and reached her station again at seven o'clock that evening. — Rewards, £10 14s..
