Barmouth, Merionethshire - At 6.50 p.m. on 22nd June, 1968, the coastguard reported that the fishing boat Welsh Lady with five people on board was in difficulties one and a half miles north of Barmouth. The life-boat The Chieftain was launched at 7.2 in a fresh north westerly wind and a moderate sea. It was half an hour before high water. The life-boat found a motor boat had taken the fishing boat in tow but could not hold her against the incoming tide and off a lee shore. The life-boat passed a line to the fishing boat and towed her to harbour. She returned to her station at 8.5..
