Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. At 8.40 on the evening of the 25th of September, 1960, a lady informed the honorary sec- retary that her husband had put out in his yacht Linnet at 10.30 that morningintending to cruise for ten miles, and that he had not returned. After con- sultation with the coastguard the honorary secretary decided to call out the life-boat. The life-boat Howard Marryat was launched at 11.34 in a gentle to moderate north-easterly breeze with a slight sea and a flood tide. The coxswain began to search the area around St. David's Head and found the yacht, which had engine trouble, about five miles from Strumble Head. The life-boat towed her back to Fishguard and returned to her station at 3.30 on the morning of the 26th of September.
