J. T. and S.
Holyhead, Anglesey. At 4.5 on the morning of the 17th of March, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a schooner, which was sheltering in Holyhead harbour, was dragging her anchors and was in danger of going ashore. At 4.55 the life-boat St. Cybi (Civil Service No. 9) was launched in a very rough sea with a fresh east-south-easterly gale blowing and a flooding tide. The life-boat found the motor schooner J. T. and S. of Dublin, and her skipper asked the coxswain to stand by until daylight. At seven o'clock the coxswain was told that the services of the life-boat were not needed as the anchors were no longer dragging. The life-boat reached her station at 7.20. Because of the very bad weather she was not able to be rehoused until the next day. Rewards to the crew, £12 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 9s..
