SAFE RETURN Rhyl, Flintshire. About 5 p.m. on 22nd April, 1964, red flares were seen by a man on the beach who immediately told members of the life-boat crew working in the harbour. There was a gentle south-westerly breeze with a slight sea.

The life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall launched at 5.15 on a flooding tide and soon reached the motor fishing vessel Storm which had her propellers fouled by a trawl net. A tow line was made fast and the Storm was brought safely into harbour.
