Moelfre, Anglesey. At three o'clock on the afternoon of the 16th of Septem- ber, 1960, the honorary secretary was informed that a tender engaged on diving operations had dragged her anchor in Benllech Bay. One engine had stopped and there was a danger that the tender, which had a crew of four would be driven ashore. At 3.5 the life-boat Watkin Williams was launched. It was one hour after low water with a moderate to fresh north- erly breeze blowing and a rough sea.

The life-boat reached the tender at 3.40 and took the four men off. By this time the tender was in the breakers close inshore. The rough weather prevented the life-boat from being rehoused at Moelfre, and she made for Beaumaris, where she was moored until she could be rehoused at 12.30 on the after- noon of the 19th of September. Rewards to the crew, £11 13s.; rewards to the helpers on shore £3 10s..
