Barmouth, Merionethshire. At 3.45 on the afternoon of the 12th June, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a 35-feet yacht was aground a mile off Dyffryn on St.

Patrick's Causeway. There was a north- easterly wind and moderate sea with rain squalls and poor visibility. At 3.55 the life-boat The Chieftain was launched at low water. She found the yacht Silver Minx of Pwllheli, and stood by until the yacht refloated. She then escorted her to harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 6.30 that evening..
