A Motor Launch and Foxfield

Tenby, Pembrokeshire. At 1.20 on the afternoon of the 27th of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a motor launch was being towed by the steamer Foxfield, and asked if the life-boat could meet the vessels off Caldey Island. There were light south-westerly airs with a calm sea. The tide was half ebb. The life-boat Henry Comber Brown was launched and met the vessels south of Caldey. She towed the launch into Saundersfoot and returned to her station at five o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £13 Is.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 13s..
