A Dinghy (1)

Porthdinllaen,Caernar vonshire. At 4.33 p.m. on 5th August, 1965, the honorary secretary heard that a small boat had been reported in difficulties in a south-westerly gale and a rough sea, about one mile north-east of Trevor. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 5.5 and found the dinghy with three people on board trying to make for Trevor with an outboard engine. The life-boat escorted the dinghy until her outboard engine failed and then towed her into Trevor. The lifeboat returned to her station at 8 p.m. A gift was made to the life-boat crew and a donation to RNLI funds..
