Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 12.14 on the afternoon of the 16th of August, 1958, the coastguard informed the coxswain that a yacht was in diffi- culties with engine trouble one mile west-north-west of Breaksea lightvessel.

Six minutes later the life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched in a rough sea, with a fresh west-north- westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide.

She found the yacht Marga with a crew of three rolling heavily and shipping a great deal of water. A tow rope was connected, and the life-boat towed the yacht to Barry, arriving at 2.10. Re- wards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 14s..
