Moelfre, Angelsey. At 2.15 on the afternoon of the 3rd of August, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a sailing boat had overturned in Red Wharf Bay. At 2.30 the life- boat Watkin Williams was launched in a choppy sea. There was a fresh south- westerly wind and an ebb tide. The life-boat found the sailing boat Gladys capsized, but there was no sign of her crew. She carried out a search in conjunction with a helicopter until 3.35, when a message was received that three survivors had been picked up by a small boat. The life-boat took the Gladys in tow to Traethbychan beach and reached her station at five o'clock.

Rewards to the crew, £7 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 16s..
