A Dinghy

Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—At 5.8 on the afternoon of the 18th of April, 1957, a resident of Saundersfoot reported that a dinghy had capsized on the east side of Monkstone Point. At 5.20 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched in a moderate sea. There was a moderate south-westerly breeze blowing, and the tide was flooding.

When the life-boat reached the posi- tion the sailing dinghy's crew of two were seen to be in the water. The life-boat rescued them and towed the dinghy to Tenby harbour, arriving at 6.30.—Rewards to the crew, £9; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £5 9s..
