Ranee

Tenby, Pembrokeshire.— At 8.30 on the evening of the 5th of July, 1955, the coastguard reported that the local motor boat Ranee had broken down off Eel Point. He later stated that she had anchored, but was dragging sea- wards. At nine o'clock the life-boat John R. Webb was launched in a calm sea, with a light north-westerly breeze blowing and an ebbing tide. She found the Ranee, which had a crew of two, at Boats' Cove, took her in tow and returned to Tenby, arriving at 10.5.—Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 4>s..
