New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 8.19 on the evening of the 23rd of August, 1956, the coastguard reported that the yacht Ronsay was in difficulty between Abersoch and Aberaeron. The life- boat St. Albans was launched at 8.30.

There was a very rough sea and a fresh to strong south-west breeze. The tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the Ronsay, with a crew of three, off Aberaeron. Her engine had broken down, but she was making slow progress under sail. The life-boat escorted her into Aberaeron harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 9.50.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 17s..
