Beaumaris, Anglesey.—At 10.10 on the night of the 5th of August, 1957, cries for help could be heard from the motor cruiser Kanedo, which was moored close to the pier. A strong south-easterly gale was blowing and the sea was very rough. At 10.30 the life-boat Field Marshal and Mrs.

Smuts was launched in an ebbing tide and found that the Kanedo had only a sixteen-year-old boy on board and that she was dragging her anchor.

The life-boat rescued the boy and returned to her station, arriving at 11.15. The Kanedo eventually beached.—Rewards to the crew, £12 7s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 11s..
