At 3 A.M.

on the 4th February the Life-boat Charlie Medland was called out to the assistance of the schooner Til Away, of Fowey, which was in distress about two miles N.E. of Mumbles Head, and making signals of distress. The Life- boat proceeded in the direction in which the lights had been seen, and eventually got alongside the schooner which had dragged her anchors. As the master of the vessel was of opinion that there was a danger of his vessel going to pieces he requested the Life-boat to take the crew off. This request was complied with, and the crew, three in number, including the captain, were landed at the Mumbles. The sea was heavy at the time..
