Barry Dock, Glamorgan. At 5.2 on the afternoon of the 6th July, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a small yacht Amanda Jane of Cardiff was making distress signals off Sully hospital a little to the east of Barry. A fresh north-westerly wind was blowing with a moderate sea. The tide was ebbing. At 5.14 the life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched. She reached the Amanda Jane and found that her engine had broken down. The Barry pilot boat already had the Amanda Jane in tow, and the life-boat escorted both boats to harbour and reached her station at six o'clock..
