Angle, Pembrokeshire. At eight o'clock on the morning of the 25th June, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a cargo ship was on fire five miles off St. Anne's Head.

The weather was foggy with a light south-westerly wind and a heavy swell.

At 8.30 on the ebb tide the life-boat John R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. She found the cargo ship Etrog of Haifa in tow of a tug and went alongside. The coxswain was asked to take off the women and children. Two men, three women, three young children and a baby were trans- ferred to the life-boat and landed at Milford docks. The life-boat then turned to the Etrog and stood by until four o'clock, when no further help was needed. She reached her station at 5.30.

The Etrog was finally beached in Dale Roads..
