Tenby, Pembrokeshire. — At twelve noon on the 23rd of August, 1952, the coastguard reported that the auxiliary sailing ketch West Winds, which had left Tenby bound for Gloucester, had not moved her position for several hours, and that her engineer was not on board. The life-boat John R. Webb was launched at 12.15 in a slight sea with a light southerly wind blowing.

She took with her the engineer of the West Winds, which was found four miles west of Hell wick Lightship.

After putting the engineer aboard, the life-boat stood by while he got the engine working, with the aid of plugsprovided by the life-boat, and then escorted the West Winds towards the Hellwick Lightship before returning to Tenby, which was reached at 4.55.

The yacht was later towed into Swansea by the pilot boat.—Rewards, £15 1*..
