Little Girl Drifts Out To Sea In Detached Dinghy, Lifeboat Crews Rescue Her [Video]

A little girl, who had drifted out to sea after the inflatable dinghy she was on broke loose from its line, was rescued by lifeguards Monday, a dramatic video showed.

The incident took place on a beach in the seaside village in Conwy County Borough, north-east Wales, U.K. The footage showed the stranded child making desperate pleas for help as freak waves shoved the boat out to sea.

"Please help," the child can be heard yelling in the video, as the crews from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a voluntary organization in the U.K., tried to get to her, Sky News reported.

The footage then showed one of the rescue personnel lifting the girl and bringing her to their vessel. "You okay? You alright?" rescue personnel were heard shouting out to the girl. She was taken back to the shore where she reunited with her family.

The child was vacationing with her family on the beach during the U.K.’s bank holiday on Monday when she faced the terrifying ordeal, according to the outlet. The inshore seaside resort Rhyl's lifeboat crew raced to save the baby after her family made a 999 call for help. The age of the child was not revealed by the authorities.

"The crew came alongside and took the child on board with the inflatable, and successfully returned both to the waiting family on the shore, who had been located by Rhyl volunteer coastguard teams who offered safety advice to the family," a spokesperson from Rhyl Lifeboat told North Wales Pioneer.

The RNLI, in its advisory, asked parents visiting the beaches to keep a watch on their children, and to take part in a kids' safety scheme before venturing out to the sea.

"Waves are great fun, but they can be dangerous. They have different characteristics depending on the beach and conditions - understanding how they work will keep you safer," the RNLI website read.

Beachgoers were urged to immediately call 999 or 112 in case of an emergency.
