FlSHGUARD, PEMBROKESHIRE. While a whole gale was blowing accompanied by a heavy sea on the night of the 2nd January, signals of distress were shown by the schooner Leander of Carnarvon, laden with meal from Paisley for Gloucester.

Her anchors had fouled in consequence of a sudden change of wind and she was drifting into a dangerous position. The Life-boat Appin was launched at 7.40, proceeded under oars to the vessel and rescued the crew of three men, who were safely landed at the new pier, Goodwick, at about 8.30..
