A Boat (3)

Porthdinlliaen, Caernarvonshire - At 8.45 p.m. on 5th August, 1967, the honorary secretary was informed that a man had swum ashore from a boat which was in difficulties one mile from Trevor point. There were four others on board.

The life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched at 9.10 in a gentle south south westerly breeze and a slight sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the boat with engine trouble and embarked the four skin divers who were on board.

The boat and dinghy were taken in tow and the life-boat returned to her station at midnight..
