Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 8.35 on the evening of the 26th of July, 1959, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a motor boat was adrift a mile and a half off Burry Holme. At 8.40 the life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched in a heavy swell, with a gentle south-westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. The life-boat found the ex-pilot cutter Tubby with a crew of five.

Her engine had broken and she was taken in tow to Burryport. The life- boat reached her station at 2.30 in the morning. Rewards to the crew, £14 9s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 7s..
