Three Canoes
Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. — At eleven o'clock on the morning of the 12th of May, 1957, the coastguard re- ported that three canoes appeared to be in difficulties and to be making no pro- gress off Great Orme's Head light- house. The life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield was launched at 11.17 in a choppy sea. There was a moderate easterly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the canoes five hundred yards north-west of the pier. The five canoeists said they did not need any help, but as they were suffering from sea-sickness, the coxswain decided to escort them to the shore. The life- boat then returned to her station, arriving at 12.16.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 2*..
