Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.—At 3.25 on the afternoon of the 23rd of October, 1954, the Rhyl coastguard reported that the Rhyl fishing boat Anna Rosa, which had broken down off Llandudno, had been taken in tow by the fishing boat Ever Ready, of Conway. The coastguard later stated that the tow rope had parted, and at 4.40 the life- boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield was launched. The sea was very rough, a moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing, and tide was half flood. The life-boat came up with the fishing boats one and three quarter miles north-east of Ormes Head lighthouse, but by this time the Ever Ready had taken the Anna Rosa in tow again.

The life-boat escorted them to the lighthouse, where the fishing boat Pendorfa, of Conway, joined them.

The Pendorfa passed a tow rope to the 'Every Heady, but the Anna Rosa broke adrift again. She was in danger of running on to rocks, and the life-boat stood by until the Pendorfa took her in tow. The life-boat then escorted the boats to the Conway river and returned to her station, arriving at 9.30.—Rewards, £18..
