On the 20th Oct. this boat was launched at 5.30 A.M., and saved the crew of the sloop Peggy, of Cardigan, which, in a strong N.N.W. gale, was riding at anchor in the breakers of Cardigan Bar and burning distress signals. Owing to the distance of the crew from the station only 8 of them could be got together, and with this number the John Stuart per- formed the service, after three hours' hard work, under the charge of Mr. JrsfKS, of H,M. Coastguard, who volunteered for the duty of coxswain, the coxswain taking an oar. A farmer, who rode some distance during the night with the intelligence of the wreck to the coastguard station, took another oar. For this and another gallant service on. the 13th Sept., in a coastguard galley, the Institution presented Mr. JINKS with its silver medal..
