Mary Roberts
FISHGUARD, PEMBROKESHIRE.—During a moderate N.N.E. gale and a heavy sea on the 2nd Feb., 1903, signals of distress were observed on the schooner Mary Roberts, of Carnarvon, which was lying in the roads. Rockets to assemble the crew were at once fired and the Life-boat Appin launched and proceeded to her. It was found that the anchors were dragging and that the schooner was likely to drive ashore. The crew, consisting of the captain and three hands, were taken into the Life-boat and landed. Later in the day the vessel having weathered the gale, the men again went on board and took the vessel to a safe anchorage.
