Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 12.15 on the afternoon of the 16th of July, 1960, the life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans began escorting the com- petitors in a canoe race from Watch Tower Bay towards Weston-super- Mare. There was a fresh south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. A number of canoes got into difficulties, and the life- boat picked up the crews and took their craft on board. One canoe capsized and was spotted by an aircraft, which directed the life-boat to the position by means of flares. The life-boat rescued the canoeist and arrived back at her station at nine o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £15 Is.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3..
