BOY DROWNS BECAUSE OF DELAY

RED TAPE PREVENTED LIFE BOAT LAUNCHING

FOR NEARLY AN HOUR TWO BOYS, AGED FIFTEEN, CLUNG DESPERATELY IN THE SEA TO A CAPSIZED CANOE WHILE DIS- CUSSIONS TOOK PLACE WHETHER A LIFEBOAT SHOULD GO TO THEIR RESCUE WITHOUT THE ADMIRALTY'S CONSENT.

When help did arrive one of the boys was drowned.

So annoyed are the people of Rhyl at the failure of the local lifeboat to go out that a petition of protest is being sent to Mr. Gwilym Rowlands, M.P. for Flintshire, and the National Lifeboat Institution.

This was revealed at the inquest at Rhyl on William Edward Hughes, fifteen, shop assistant, of Westfield-road, Rhyl. The verdict was Accidental' death.
