Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—About ten o'clock on the night of the 17th of August, 1952, the motor cruiser En- chantress struck the rocks near Stack- poole Head and became a wreck. She had a party of six aboard, and two young men managed to reach the shore to summon help. The coastguard re- ported this to the life-boat station at 6.15. The life-boat John R. Webb was launched at 6.35 on the morning of the 18th of August in a very rough sea with a south-easterly gale and rain.

She carried out a search over a wide area, but found no wreckage or sur- vivors. The four other people had lost their lives. Coastguards on shore could be seen hauling someone up the cliffs, and they gave the life-boat a signal to return to her station. It was now so long since the Enchantress had struck that the life-boat decided to leave, and made for Caldy Roads.

Here she tried to take a monk off Caldy Island, but it was too rough.

When the weather improved the life- boat made for Tenby Harbour, arriv- ing at five in the afternoon.—Rewards, £32 18s..
