The S.S Laura Fell

PEMBREY,CARMARTHENSHIRE.—At about 12.30 A.M. on the 14th October signals of distress were shown by the ss. Laura Fell, of London. The wind was blowing a whole gale from the S.W.. with thick rain and a very heavy sea. The signals were answered by the Coastguard, and theLife-boat Stanton Meyrick of Pimlico, stationed at Pembrey, put off to the vessel, which was found to have stranded on the Middle Spit, and brought safely ashore her crew of seven men. At 5 o'clock the Life-boat again went out with a steamtug, and, after much risk and hard work, brought the vessel, which was leaking very badly, into Llanelly..
