Two Small Boats

Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.—During the afternoon of the 13th of December, 1953, a fishing competition was held in Llandudno Bay, but the weather deteriorated and all but two of the small boats returned to the shore.

About 3.30 the two boats signalled for help three quarters of a mile north of the pier, and the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched. The sea was choppy with a fresh south- south-east wind blowing. A rowing boat fitted with an outboard motor also made for the position and the life-boat stood by. The life-boat then escorted all three boats to the shore.

She reached her station again at 5.5.— Rewards, £12 12s..
