Rhyl, Flintshire. At 2.15 on the afternoon of the 13th of July, 1958, the assistant motor mechanic told the honorary secretary that his son had taken a party out fishing in his boat Eureka at 7.30 in the morning to Llandulas and had not returned. The weather was deteriorating, and as the coastguard could not see the boat, the life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall was launched at 3.50 in a choppy sea.

There was a strong north-westerly wind and it was low water. The life-boat found the Eureka, with four men on board, at anchor in sheltered water four miles off Colwyn Bay pier. They did not want to be taken aboard the life-boat, which therefore escorted their boat back to harbour, arriving at eight o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £8 8s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 10s.
