Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire. At 1.50 on the afternoon of the 9th of September, 1960, the coastguard asked the honorary secretary for the use of the life-boat to take a doctor to a sick woman on Bardsey Island. The life- boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 2.20 with a doctor on board in a gentle to moderate south-westerly breeze with a moderate sea and an ebb- tide. She took her boarding boat in tow. On reaching Bardsey Island the doctor was taken ashore by a small boat, and the life-boat stood off. About 5.30 the doctor returned with the patient on a stretcher, and the life-boat took them to Morfa Nevin, where the sick woman was taken ashore in the boarding boat to a waiting ambulance. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.50 Rewards to the crew, £10; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 18s..
