Holyhead, Anglesey. At 10.26 a.m.

on 2yth November, 1965, the honorary secretary heard that the Norwegian motor vessel Havlyn was in need of assistance, having a forty-five degree list nine miles from the South Stack lighthouse.

The life-boat St. Cybi (Civil Service No.

9) was launched at 10.49 in a north-northwesterly gale force wind and a very rough sea. It was one hour before high water.

The life-boat proceeded and reached the Havlyn at 12 noon, and stood by until the vessel righted herself and had made anchor in Penrhos Bay. The life-boat continued to stand by until 5.7 when she returned to her station, arriving at 7.5 p.m..
