Angle, Pembrokeshire.—At 3.15 on the morning of the 30th of November, 1954, the coastguard reported that a vessel east of Milford Docks was drag- ging her anchors and sounding distress signals on her siren. At 3.50 the life- boat Elizabeth Elson was launched. A south-westerly wind of hurricane force was blowing, and there was a very rough sea. The life-boat found that the motor vessel Ability, of London, had gone ashore. The master asked the life-boat to stand by, so she remained with the vessel while the coastguard Life-Saving Apparatus Company took off the crew of eleven.

She then returned to Angle Bay, arriving at the jetty at nine o'clock.

She was rehoused the next day.— Rewards, £27 10*..
