The life-boat reached the position and found a helicopter, which had been on exercise, engaged in rescuing the two occupants of the outboard motor dinghy, which was then two and a half miles off Dulas beach. The dinghy had engine trouble and was towed by the life-boat to Moelfre, arriving at 3.45 p.m..
