Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire. At 12.15 on the afternoon of the 4th of October, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small sailing dinghy had capsized four miles from Porthdinllaen. The life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 12.28 in a choppy sea. There was a fresh south-easterly wind and it was two hours after high water. The life- boat found that the dinghy, which had one man aboard, had not capsized but that her owner had lowered his sail because of the strong off-shore wind, the life-boat took the dinghy in tow and reached her station at 2.10. Re- wards to the crew, £7 10s. ; rewards to he helpers on shore, £3 18s..
