Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—At 4.55 on the afternoon of the 17th of June, 1956, the coastguard telephoned that two girls in a rubber dinghy were drifting out to sea half a mile south of Pendine Village. At 5.30 the life-boat Henry Comber Broirn was launched in a slight sea. There was a moderate northerly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat took the rubber dinghy and the two girls, one of whom was exhausted, on board and returned to her station, arriving back at 7.30.

The girls, who had been in bathing dresses, were given clothes and later taken to hospital.—Rewards to the crew, £7 4s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 12s..
