Two Rubber Dinghies (1)
SEPTEMBER 27TH. - LLANDUDNO, CAERNARVONSHIRE.
At 4.30 in the afternoon the Colwyn Bay police reported two men drifting out to sea on rubber dinghies. A southerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was choppy. The motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched at 4.45 and found the two dinghies three miles off Colwyn Bay. Both men were exhausted.
The life-boat took them and their dinghies on board and made for Colwyn Bay, but found that the tide was too low to land them, so she took them to Llandudno Bay and landed them there by rowing boat at eight that evening.
The men were both in bathing dress and the coxswain took them by car to Rhos-on-Sea.
The life-boat was re-housed at eleven o’clock.
The two men, who were brothers, sent £50 to the Institution. - Rewards, £13 13s. 6d..
