A Dinghy (1)

Rhyl, Flintshire - At 2.45 p.m. on 5th March, 1967, a small dinghy with three people on board was reported to be in difficulties about one mile to seaward of Llandulas, and the crew were waving to attract attention. The life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall was launched at 3o'clock and proceeded to the position. A small boat was sighted on the beach mounted on a trailer, and the coxswain went inshore to inquire if they had been in trouble. He received no reply. The lifeboat therefore moved out to continue her search. She came up with a small speedboat which was making for the shore, and the life-boat escorted her safely to the beach through heavy surf. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.15..
