The Local Fishing Boat Lady Betty

OCTOBER 19TH.. - RHYL, FLINTSHIRE.

About one o’clock in the afternoon, the coastguard reported that the local fishing boat Lady Betty, with only one man on board, had broken down and was drifting out to sea towards the Constables Light. The motor life-boat The Gordon Warren, with a crew of only three men, was launched at two o’clock in a choppy sea. A fresh south-easterly wind was blowing. The life-boat travelled about fifteen miles before she overtook the Lady Betty. The man on board was exhausted.

The life-boat took the fishing boat in tow and brought her to her moorings at Rhyl at 7.30 that night. - Rewards, £17 0s.
