Secret, of Littlehaven

OCTOBER 8TH. - ST. DAVID’S, PEMBROKESHIRE. At 8.25 at night the coastguard reported that the motor boat Secret, of Littlehaven, with three on board, had left Littlehaven in the morning for Milford Haven and had not arrived. A second message at 10.42 said that a light had been seen in St. Bride’s Bay earlier in the evening. A moderate south-easterly breeze was blowing and the sea was slight. The motor life-boat Civil Service No. 6 was launched at 12.25 next morning and searched the bay. She saw a flare and found the motor boat two miles west of Green Scar Rock with her engine broken down. She towed her to Solva harbour, and returned to her station, arriving at 4.25 that morning. A donation was received from the owner. - Rewards, £13 13s.
