Criccieth, Caernarvonshire.—At 5.57 on the afternoon of the 24th of August, 1954, the Abersoch coastguaid tele- phoned that a fishing boat was drifting and making heavy weather off St.

Tudwal's Island. At 6.7 the life-boat Richard Silver Oliver was launched.

The sea was rough, a strong north- north-east breeze was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat found the yacht Amy, a converted fishing boat, in St. Tudwal's Sound, with twomen and two women on board. She had lost her sails and anchor and her engine had stopped. Two other boats were with her. Her crew re-started her engine, and the life-boat escorted the yacht to an anchorage at Abersoch, reaching her station again at ten o'clock.—Rewards, £21 11s..
