New Quay, Cardiganshire.—At 11.20 on the morning of the 29th of July, 1956, the harbour master reported that the yacht Sabrina had parted her moorings and was drifting on a lee shore with one man on board. The life-boat St. Albans was launched at 11.25. The sea was very rough, there was a strong northerly gale, with con- tinuous rain, and a flood tide. The life-boat found the Sabrina off the pierhead and managed to take her in tow and beach her inside the groyne.

The coxswain was then informed that the Aberystwyth life-boat needed help to locate the yacht Pen Cw. He at once made for Aberystwyth, but re- ceived a message that his help was no longer needed. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 4.30.— Rewards to the crew, £12 13*.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 1*..
