AUGUST 9TH. - PWLLHELI, CAERNARVONSHIRE.

At about 4 P.M. information was received that a steamer making for St. Tudwald’s Road was in need of help.

A S.W. breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat C & S, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 4.50 P.M. and found the S.S. Kingfisher, an American vessel now under the Ministry of Shipping. She was bound light from Falmouth to the Clyde and had sprung a leak.

Her master had beached her in Abersoch Bay in a sinking condition. At his request the life-boat stood by while the flood tide was making, and then, as help was no longer n e e d e d , s h e r e t u r n e d t o h e r s t a t i o n a t 4.30 A.M. the following morning. - Rewards, £13 11s. 6d..
