A Rowing Boat
Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. At 11.55 on the morning of the 4th of October, 1959, the motor mechanic told the second coxswain that a rowing boat with four men aboard was in difficulties off Great Ormes Head. The life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched at 12.6 with the second coxswain in command. The sea was rough, a strong southerly wind was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat found the boat and took her crew on board. She then took the boat in tow and returned to her station, arriving at 12.40. Rewards to the crew, £6 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 12s..
