Edna

Moelfre, Anglesey. — About eleven o'clock on the morning of the 25th of May, 1953, a message was received from Benllech that a local rowing boat with a man and five children on board was in difficulties off Red Wharf Bay and was being driven towards Puffin Island. At 11.15 the life-boat G.W.

was launched in a rough sea with a fresh south-westerly breeze blowing.

She towed the boat, which was the Edna, to Benllech. Later she escorted a fishing boat with a sailing dinghy in tow to Traen Bychan, and reached her station again at 12.50.—Rewards, £5 19*..
