Seagrid

Tenby, Pembrokeshire.—At 7.2 on the evening of the 28th of September, 1957, the coastguard telephoned that the yacht Seagrid, which was on passage to Aberystwyth with a crew of two, appeared to be dismasted and was making slow progress. She seemed to have engine trouble. The life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched at 7.12 in a moderate sea. There was a north- north-westerly breeze blowing and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the Seagrid, whose engines had been repaired, and stood by her until she was safely on her way. She then returned to her station, arriving at 11.30. The life-boat was not re- housed until next morning.—Rewards to the crew, £11 11s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8..
