Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire. At 10.10 on the night of the 4th of September, 1959, the coxswain received a message from Abersoch that a 14-feet motor boat with three men on board was overdue. The boat had last been seen at six o'clock off the rocks of St.

Tudwal's Island. After the coastguard had made enquiries the life-boat Katherine and Virgoe Buck land was launched at eleven o'clock. The weather was fine and clear with a calm sea. It was one hour after high water.The life-boat made for St. Tudwal's Island, and a faint light was seen coming from a boat at anchor under Wylfa. When the life-boat reached the motor boat Marijon, it was found that her occupants had run out of petrol and had lit matches to attract the attention of the life-boat crew. The boat was taken in tow to Abersoch, and the life- boat reached her station at 1.10.

Rewards to the crew, £7 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 14s..
