A Dinghy (3)

Mcelfre, Anglesey.—At 11.15 on the morning of the 14th of August, 1957, a dinghy three miles north-east of Moryn Point, Dulas, was seen drifting out to sea. Five minutes later the life-boat Watkin Williams was launch- ed. There was a rough sea, a strong west-north-westerly wind was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life- boat came up with the dinghy half an hour later. She rescued the crew of two and towed the dinghy back to her station, arriving at 12.50. The men in the dinghy made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards to the crew, £5; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 12*..
