Accidents and Incidents
From the Pembrokeshire Telegraph of Wednesday 1st January 1936:
FISHGUARD LIFEBOAT OUT
CREW NOT SORRY TO GET BACK!
After standing in readiness throughout Sunday night the Fishguard lifeboat received a message about noon on Monday that a drifter (the Feasible) was in distress in an unknown position on the coast.
No time was lost in putting out and within half-an-hour a signal was received from the coastguard at Strumble Head that the position of the distressed vessel was still unknown. The lifeboat continued its course and when off St. David's Head met the Milford trawler "Victor", which gave the information that the drifter was now off the Smalls and was being assisted by another Milford trawler. At that time, the "Victor" stated, the trawler was getting ropes on board the foundering vessel.
In consequence of this message the lifeboat did not proceed any further and arrived back at Fishguard at about 4 p.m.
