Angle, Pembrokeshire. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 24th October, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the coaster Kylequeen was in difficulties seven miles south-west of St. Anne's Head.

At 9.35 the life-boat Richard Vernon and Mary Garforth of Leeds was launched on the ebb tide. There was a near gale blowing from the west-south- west with a rough sea. The life-boat made for the position given, which she reached at 11.42. A tug, which had also been called for, came up with the casualty at 12.30 and took her in tow to Milford Haven. The life-boat escorted them and then returned to her station, arriving at 4.30..
