Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire.—At 2.25 on the afternoon of the llth of July, 1953, the life-boat Aguila Wren was launched for a routine exercise. She pa- trolled the area in which some dinghies were sailing in a local regatta, and about four o'clock, when the sea was choppy and a strong south-easterly breeze was blowing, she saw one of them capsize three quarters of a mile north of the life-boat station. She immediately went to her and rescued her crew of two. Another dinghy, the Gwylan, was then seen to capsize five hundred yards to the south. The life-boat rescued her crew of two, took the Gwylan in tow, and landed three of the rescued at 4.30. She then put off again, with the fourth man whomshe had rescued on board, towed in the dinghy which had capsized first, and reached her station at five o'clock.— Rewards, £14 15s..
