Beaumaris, Anglesey.—At 1.45 on the afternoon of the 18th of July, 1954, the police reported that a Conway sailing boat, with a crew of two, had capsized near the life-boat station.

At two o'clock the life-boat Field Marshal and Mrs. Smuts was launched.

The sea was moderate, a fresh north- westerly breeze was blowing, and it was one hour after high water. Thelife-boat found the sailing boat three hundred yards west of the life-boat- house, rescued those on board, wrapped them in blankets and gave them rum.

The boat was then righted, and the life-boat towed her to Beaumaris, arriving at 2.30.—Rewards, £7 10s..
