Magdalen Esther
FERRYSIDE, CARMARTHEN BAY. — At about 1.30 A.M., on the 28th October, it was reported that a vessel was ashore on the Langhame Sands, about eight miles west of Ferryside. The wind was blowing a gale from the S.W., with heavy squalls, and the sea was heavy. The Life-boat City of Manchester was launched, and after a severe pull against the wind and sea, she succeeded in reaching the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Magdalen Esther, of New Quay, bound from New Boss to Cardiff with pitwood. She had carried away both her anchors, and had stranded on the sands. She had lost her bulwarks and foremast, and the sea was breaking completely over her. Her crew of four men were taken into the Life-boat and brought safely to land..
