Angle, Pembrokeshire. At 8.15 on the evening of the 3rd August, 1961. the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a local fishing boat from Milford Haven could not be found in the harbour, but that a small boat with two people on board was reported to be in Skokholm, North Haven, and it was suggested that the life-boat should investigate. A south-westerly gale was blowing with a heavy swell. The tide was flooding. At 8.35 the life-boat /. R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. On reaching the position given the life-boat found the fishing boat in the lee of Skokholm.

As the weather was deteriorating, she took off the two men on board and landed them at Milford Haven. The fishing boat was left anchored to be re- covered later, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at midnight..
