Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. At 12.12 on the afternoon of the 12th of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the chairman of the branch, who was acting as honorary secretary, that a sailing dinghy had capsized a mile and a half from South Pirsey Head. The life-boat Howard Marryat was launched at 12.28 in a moderate to fresh north-north- westerly breeze with a calm sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the sailing dinghy with no one on board.

She searched a wide area but found no sign of life. The dinghy was towed back to harbour, and handed over to the receiver of wrecks. The life-boat returned to her station at 6.30. Re- wards to the crew, £12 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 12s..
