Red Gurnet
Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—At 8.10 on the morning of the 26th of August, 1955, the Strumble Head coastguard rang up to say that the Strumble Head lightkeeper had reported that a yacht was becalmed to the west of Strumble Head. At 8.45 the life-boat White Star was launched. The sea was smooth, there was a light breeze, and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat found the yacht Red Gurnet, of Burn- ham-on-Crouch, with a crew of three, one mile west of Strumble Head. She had run short of fuel and food. The life-boat towed her to Fishguard, arriving at eleven o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 16s..
