New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 4.40 on the afternoon of the 17th of July, 1955,the life-boat coxswain reported that ten people were marooned on the rocks a mile and a half to the west of New Quay. Ten minutes later the life-boat St. Albans was launched, taking a small boat with her. The sea was calm, the weather was fine, and the tide was half flood. The life-boat found ten members of an angling association cut off by the tide, rescued them, and reached her station again at 5.40. The angling association ex- pressed thanks.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, etc., £8 17s..
