Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire.—At 1.45 on the afternoon of the 14th of Novem- ber, 1952, the Holyhead coastguard telephoned that a message had been received from a doctor on Bardsey Island asking for the life-boat to take a seriously sick woman to the main- land. No other suitable boat was available, and at 2.30 the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX left her moorings in a smooth sea and a light south-easterly breeze. She reached Bardsey at five o'clock, embarked the woman, and took her to Pwllheli, where an ambulance was waiting.

The life-boat reached her station again at 9.40.—Rewards, £20..
