Porthdinllaen, Caernarvonshire. At 8.50 on the morning of the 28th October, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the fishing boat Ees Teyr of Beaumatis was aground on the south bank of Caer- narvon bar. The life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 9.15 in a north-westerly wind of near gale force and a rough sea. It was two hours after low water. On reaching the position indicated the life-boat crew found that the Caernarvon pilot boat was about to take the Ees Teyr in tow. The fishing boat's rudder had been pushed up through her deck, and she was leaking badly. The life-boat escorted both boats into Caernarvon dock and reached her station at 3.40..
