Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—-At 1.50 early on the morning of the 8th of July, 1956, the coastguard telephoned that a motor launch had left Fishguard the evening before and had not returned.

The life-boat White Star was launched at 2.15. There was a smooth sea, with a slight southerly breeze and fog. The tide was flooding. The life-boat searched in the direction of Cardigan Island and found the motor launch Mitchell, of Fishguard, with two people on board anchored under the cliffs at Aberporth. Her engine had broken down. She was not in danger, but one of the men on board wished to be taken back to Fishguard. The life-boat brought him back, arriving at Fish- guard at 10.5.—Rewards to the crew, £16 6s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 16s..
