Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 11.58 on the night of the 18th of June,1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the sand dredger Ron Woolaway had capsized near Flatholm Island but that her crew of seven were safely ashore on the island.

A request was made for the life-boat to take dry clothing to the men and return with them to Barry. Enquiries were made at the offices of the British Sailors' Society. No clothing was im- mediately available, but the life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans put out at 12.20 in foggy weather, when the tide was half flood. The life-boat picked up the seven men and landed them at Barry at 2.10, where they were provided with dry clothing, which the British Sailors' Society had by then obtained for them. Rewards to the crew, £7 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 2s..
