The Mumbles, Glamorgan. At 12.5 early on the morning of the 21st July, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a canoe had capsized in Langland Bay. There was a gentle north-westerly breeze, and the weather was fine. At 12.34, when the life-boat William Gammon (Manchester and District XXX) was launched, it was high water. The life-boat made for the position given, which she reached at 12.50. It was learnt that of the five occupants of the canoe four had managed to struggle ashore. With the aid of parachute flares and the help of the police and several canoes, the life- boat made a thorough search of the area for the missing man, but without success. During the search a capsized speed-boat was found and taken on board the life-boat. At 3.10 the life-boat was recalled, and she arrived at her station at 4.25. Later a body was found washed ashore in Langland Bay..
