Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—At 9.18 on the evening of the 19th of July, 1953, the coxswain was rung up with the news that the motor launch Thelma, of Fishguard, was in distress off the northern breakwater. At 9.36 the life-boat White Star was launched.

The sea was moderate and a strong south-south-west breeze was blowing.

The life-boat found the Thelma a mile north-north-west of the breakwater.

She had a crew of six, who had been on a fishing trip, but a sea had swamped her engine. The life-boat towed the Thelma to Lower Fishguard Harbour and reached her station again at 10.50.—Rewards, £6 14s..
