ON THE ROCKS At 1.15 a.m. on nth July, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that he had seen a red flare north of Trevor Point. There was a very rough sea with gale force west-south-westerly winds.

The tide had been ebbing for two hours.

At 2 a.m. the life-boat White Star, on temporary duty at the station, was launched to investigate. Later a radio message was received stating that the fishing vessel Maisie was held firmly on the rocks north of Dinas-Dinalle. An attempt was to be made to refloat her on the flood tide and the life-boat was asked to stand by. As the tide rose, however, heavier seas began to pound the Maisie, filling her with water and pushing her up on to a shingle beach. Her crew were taken off by the life-saving apparatus team. The life-boat returned to her station at noon..
