Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. At 11.15 on the night of the 22nd of May, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the motor boat Girl Pat was overdue on passage from Newport, Pembrokeshire, to Tresaeth near Aber- porth. The honorary secretary decided that further enquiries should be made, but as no clear information was forth- coming the life-boat Elizabeth Elson, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings at 11.30 early on the morning of the 23rd of May. The tide was half ebb, and there was a moderate south-south-westerly wind with a moderate sea. The life-boat found the Girl Pat broken down three quarters of a mile off shore from Penrhyn Point.

She had a crew of three. The life-boat took her in tow to Fishguard harbour, arriving at 6.30. Rewards to the crew, £10 18s. ; rewards to the helper on shore, 17s..
