Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire. At 5.10 on the afternoon of the 28th of July, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat appeared to be in difficulties and drift- ing off Porthdinllaen Point. The life- boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 5.30 in a strong south-westerly breeze and a rough sea. It was one hour be- fore low water. The life-boat came alongside the dinghy, which had a crew of three, and found that her outboard engine had broken down and that a rope had fouled her propeller. The boat was taken in tow, and the life-boat arrived back at her station at 6.35. Rewards to the crew, £5; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 18s..
