The Armed Patrol Yacht Boyne Water

FEBRUARY 29TH. - PWLLHELI, CAERNARVONSHIRE.

At 2.45 P.M. the armed patrol yacht Boyne Water, which was anchored in St. Tudwalls Roads, signalled for a doctor, and Dr. Lloyd Hughes, of Abersoch, asked the life-boat to take him out as no other boat was available at Abersoch or Pwllheli. A fresh E.N.E. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. At 3.25 P.M. the motor life-boat William Macpherson was launched with the doctor on board, and found that the master of the Boyne Water was ill. The life-boat returned to her station at 6 P.M. - Rewards, £8 17s. 9d.
