Donna and Pandora

Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—At 4.46 on the afternoon of the 24th of August, 1957, it was learnt that the yacht Donna had capsized in the bay off Monks- house. The life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched at 4.55 in a moderate sea. There was a moderate west-north-westerly breeze, and the tide was flooding. When the life- boat reached the position she found that the Donna had been righted and was proceeding under her own power, but another yacht, the Pandora, was seen to be in difficulties and the life- boat stood by her for some time. The Pandora then asked for help, and the life-boat towed her and her crew of three into Tenby, which was reached at 6.30.—1st service, rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 4*. 2nd service, Property Salvage Case..
