Dawn

AUGUST 27TH. - LLANDUDNO, CAERNARVONSHIRE.

At 6.30 in the evening the coxswain received a telephone call from the Colwyn Bay police that a boat was in distress one and a half miles off Colwyn pier.

A fresh southerly wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched at 6.45 and found the rowing boat Dawn with two men in her. They were exhausted. The life-boat took them on board and landed them at Colwyn Bay in the presence of a large crowd. She reached her station again at 8.45. - Rewards, £12 4s. 3d..
