Ferryside, Carmarthenshire. At 2.2 on the afternoon of the 20th of September, 1958, the coastguard at Mumbles told the honorary secretary that two sailing boats had capsized between Ferryside and Llanstephan. At 2.40 the life- boat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine was launched in a choppy sea.

There was a squally south-westerly wind with an ebb tide. The life-boat reached the position where the boats had capsized and found the crews had reached the shore. One of the sailing boats had grounded, but the life-boat took the other in tow and reached her station at 4.45. Rewards to the crew, £7 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 6s..
