Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 6.10 on the evening of the 15th of August, 1959, the coastguard passed on to the honorary secretary a report from the police that a man was drifting out to sea off Waterwynch Bay. At 6.18 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched with a doctor on board in a rough sea. There was a fresh south- westerly wind and an ebb tide. When the life-boat reached the position the body of the man was seen floating about fifteen feet from the water's edge. The life-boat closed the shore and a member of the crew jumped into the sea and helped another man, who had swum out from the shore, to land the body.

The doctor was put ashore and the man was given artificial respiration, but he did not recover. The life-boat reached her station at 7.30. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 15s..
