STRANDED ON ISLAND Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. At 5.25 p.m. on i3th March, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the police had seen a number of people on Sully Island who could not get back to the mainland because it was high water. As no one was in danger the life-boat was not launched at the time but the Rachel and Mary Evans was later launched at 6.45.

There was a light south-easterly breeze and a slight sea. The coxswain found a man and a woman on the island and they were landed at Barry. The life-boat reached her station at 7.50..
