On the 14th April, during 'a very severe gale of wind, a brig was seen to part from her anchors in the Mumbles Roads, and to bum signals of distress. The Wolverhampton life-boat was promptly launched, and remained by the vessel until, the tide rising, she again broke fi-om her moorings. The life-boat then returned to Swansea, and obtained the assistance of a steam-tug, by which means the vessel was subsequently brought safely into harbour.

She proved to be the brig Wellington, of Aberystwith..
