Lynandi

Angle, Pembrokeshire.—At 11.48 on the night of the 15th of January, 1954,the St. Govan's Head coastguard rang up to say that the steam trawler Lynandi, of Milford Haven, with a crew of twelve, had broken adrift from a tow by another trawler about seventeen and three quarter miles south-west of St. Anns Head. At 12.45 the life-boat Elisabeth Elson was launched. She searched widely in a very rough sea, with a westerly gale blowing, but found nothing and reached her station at eight o'clock.

She refuelled, and the coastguard reported that the trawler could now be seen six miles west of the St. Gcnvan lightvessel. The life-boat put to sea again, but found that a tug had taken the trawler in tow. The life-boat escorted both vessels to Milford Haven and reached her station again at five in the afternoon.—Rewards, £57..
