St. David's, Pembrokeshire.—At eight o'clock on the evening of the 20th of August, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that the motor boat from Ramsey Island bound for St. Justinian had broken down and was drifting past St. David's Head. Further enquiries were made, and it was learned later that the boat had landed three people near Forth Helgan and that her crew of four had repaired her engine.

However, about 10.30 the coastguard stated that a flashing light could be seen on Ramsey Island, and at 10.40 the life-boat Civil Service No. 6 was launched. The sea was calm, there was a light north-easterly breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat hailed the island quay and was answered by a light, which indicated that the motor boat was missing. The life-boat then made a search, and using her searchlight found the motor boat at the northern end of the island. She had shipped a lot of water, so the life-boat escorted her to the quay and reached her station again at 12.5 early on the 21st.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helper on shore, £2 12s..
