Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 9th of August, 1952, the life-boat mechanic reported that a small sailing yacht appeared to be anchored a quarter of a mile to the east of the harbour entrance and was making signals for help. The weather was squally, with heavy rain and a strong breeze blowing from the west.

At 10.40 the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX left her moorings. She found the twenty-five foot sailing yacht Tryst with three people on board.

The yacht was on her way from Pwll- heli to Abersoch but had encountered difficulties owing to a sudden change of wind, and was now unable to beat up the harbour to a safe anchorage.

The life-boat took the Tryst in tow and brought her to safety. She then returned to her station, arriving at 11.15.—Rewards, £4 10s..
