Moelfre, Anglesey. At 2.35 on the afternoon of the 3rd July, 1961, the police at Benllech informed the honor- ary secretary that a small boat flying a distress signal off Red Wharf bay was drifting out to sea. A fresh south-south- westerly wind was blowing, and the sea was rough. Five minutes later the life- boat Watkin Williams was launched at high water. She reached the small motor boat Hebe 2, which had a crew of two, about three miles north-east of Red Wharf river. The boat's engine had broken down, and the life-boat took her in tow to Moelfre. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.10..
