St. David's, Pembrokeshire.—At 8.5 on the morning of the 5th of August, 1956, the coastguard rang up to say that a man in the Smalls lighthouse was sick and asked if the life-boat would take him ashore. At 8.30 the life-boat Sivn-y-Mor (Civil Service No.

6) was launched with a doctor and took her boarding boat in tow. The sea was moderate, there was a moderate north-easterly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat reached the lighthouse at eleven o'clock, and two members of the life-boat crew took the doctor to it in the boarding boat.

The sick man was then transferred to the life-boat, which landed him at her station at two o'clock. The man's life was saved.—Rewards to the crew, £10 16s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 9s..
