A Dinghy (4)

Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 9.35 on the evening of the 1st of September, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that two people in a dinghy fitted with an outboard motor were shouting for help off the south beach.

At 9.44 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched in a rough sea.

There was a moderate south-easterly wind and it was high water. The life- boat took the dinghy in tow, and the two rescued people, who were a man and a seven-year-old girl, were landed at Tenby at 10.10. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 4s..
