On the same day a French schooner, the Pierre D6siree, got on the Hooper Sands, off Llanelly, during a moderate gale, with a heavy sea.

On her signals of distress being seen, the Life-boat Stanton Meyrick of Pimlico was taken out to her assistance, and was suc- cessful in saving the vessel and her crew of 4 men. Unfortunately, one of the crew of the Life-boat had his leg seriously in- jured while helping to launch the boat..
