On the 13th December, the Princess of Wales life-boat on this Station went off to the assistance of a vessel reported as being in distress in the harbour of refuge at this place, she having dragged her anchors near the Breakwater. It was quite dark, and the wind was blowing a heavy gale from the S.W., and it was raining hard. With the assistance of a steamer and the life-boat the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Merlin, of Llanelly, having a crew of 4 men, was rescued from her very dangerous position..
