MAY 22ND. - PORTHDINLLAEN, CAERNARVONSHIRE. At 6.43 P .M. a telephone message came from the senior naval officer at Liverpool, asking the lifeboat to go to the help of a British aeroplane in distress, and the motor life-boat M.O.Y.E. was launched at 7.30 P.M. A moderate S.W.breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea and rain. The life-boat made for the position given, W. by S. 1/4S., 36 1/4 miles from Porthdinllaen Point. It was very difficult to see in the continuous rain and, when at midnight the life-boat reached the position given and searched, she could find nothing. The weather was getting steadily worse during the search, and the life-boat returned to her station at 5.35 A.M., having been out eleven hours. - An increase in the usual money award on the standard scale was granted to each member of the crew. Standard rewards to crew and helpers, £10 10s. ; additional rewards to crew, £2 19s. 6d. ; total rewards, £13 9s. 6d..
