MAY 10TH. - HOLYHEAD, ANGLESEY.

At 10.55 at night the naval base reported through the coastguard that an American soldier and a member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service had been cut off by the tide on Ynys Meibion rocks off Rhosneigr. The night was fine, with a smooth sea and a slight south-west wind. Taking a small boat in tow the motor life-boat A.E.D. was launched at 11.10. When she reached the rocks three of her crew manned the small boat, and one of them landed on the rocks to find the man and woman very wet and exhausted. On board the life-boat they were given rum and dry clothing. She landed them at Holyhead at 4.45 next morning. There they were met by a service car and, after they had expressed heir thanks, returned to their units. - Rewards, £7..
