Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—At 4.35 on the afternoon of the 31st of May, 1957, the coastguard telephoned to say a motor fishing vessel was on the rocks at Divas Head. The life-saving ap- paratus team and a helicopter had been summoned, and at five o'clock the life - boat Howard Marryat waslaunched. There was a smooth sea with light airs, and it was low water.

The life-boat came up with the fishing vessel John Briscoe, of Cardigan, with a crew of two. She stood by her until 7.15, when the fishing vessel refloated on the rising tide. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving there at 7.45.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 16s..
