Angle, Pembrokeshire. — At 12.25 early on the morning of the 9th of June, 1954, the Tenby coastguard rang up to say that the tanker Esso Cheyenne had taken in tow the ketch Progress, of Bideford, with a crew of five, which she had found leaking, and was making for Milford Haven. The life-boat was asked to take over the tow, and at 3.35, when the tanker was two miles south-west of St. Anns Head, the life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched.

There was a heavy swell and a moder- ate southerly breeze. The life-boat took over the tow, anchored the ketch eight hundred yards north-east of the life-boat station, and arrived back at her station at 7.45. At eleven o'clock the life-boat winchman reported that the Progress was dragging her anchor, so at 11.20 the life-boat was launched again. She beached the ketch in Angle Bay and reached her station at two o'clock.—Rewards, £21 14*..
