Beaumaris, Anglesey. At 11.30 on the morning of the 30th of March, 1958, the coxswain was told that a speedboat had broken down. Half-an- hour later he saw the boat a mile and a half south-east of the life-boat slipway.

At 12.45 the life-boat Field-Marshal and Mrs. Smuts was launched in a choppy sea. There was a gentle south-westerly wind and the tide was flooding. The life-boat took the speedboat, which had five people aboard, in tow to Beaumaris pier, and returned to her station, arriving at 1.30. The owner made a donation to the Institution's funds.

Rewards to the crew, £8 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 19s..
