Moelfre, Anglesey. At nine o'clock on the evening of the 25th May, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a boat from the tanker North Monarch of Monrovia had broken down a mile to the north-east. At 9.10, when the life-boat Watkin Williams was launched, there was a fresh north- easterly wind with a rough sea and it was high water. The life-boat found the boat with eight people aboard, towed her to the tanker and then made for Beaumaris because of the weather. She arrived at midnight and stayed there until the 27th. She returned to her station at 1.45 that afternoon..
