A Motor Boat (4)
SAFELY TO MOELFRE At i.20 p.m. on 5th August, 1964, the coastguard informed the honorary secre- tary that a small motor boat had sprung a leak and was drifting with the fresh to strong south-westerly breeze in rough seas north-north-east of Moelfre. Her engine had also failed. At 1.30 the lifeboat Watkin Williams was launched but a few minutes before she reached the motor boat a helicopter dropped a flare to mark the boat's position. There was one person on board and the motor boat was towed back to Moelfre. The life-boat returned to her station at 3.30..
