RESCUED FROM SPEEDBOAT Beaumaris, Anglesey. At 7.15 p.m.

on i6th April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small and overloaded speedboat was in difficulties about three-quarters of a mile east by south from Penmon Lookout. The Life-boat Field Marshal and Mrs, Smuts was launched at 8 o'clock into a moderate south-westerly breeze with a slight sea.

The tide was flooding. The occupants of the speedboat, four young men and a girl, were taken on board the Life-boat and, as they were suffering from the cold, given warm refreshment. The four men and the girl were landed at Beaumaris Pier where their boat, which had been taken in tow, was moored for them. The Life-boat returned to her station at 9.48 p.m..
