PORT EYNON, SOUTH WALES.—On the 2nd February, during a thick fog, it was reported that a steamer's whistle had been heard in the direction of Helwick Sands. The Life-boat A Daughter'sOffering was launched at 12.35 P.M., and on reaching the sands found that the s.s. Imbros, of and for Hull, from Kusteudji, Black Sea, with a cargo of barley, was lying close to the East Helwick buoy.

Her engines were disabled and she was leaking. The Life-boat returned ashore, and a telegram was despatched to Swansea for two steam-tugs. She then returned to the vessel and remained by her until she drove over the bank into deep water and anchored. Shortly afterwards the disabled vessel was taken in tow by a coasting steamer, and was beached at the Mumbles in a sinking condition, having then eight feet of water in her. The Life-boat accompanied her as far as Oxwich Point and then returned to her station, which was reached at 5 P.M..
