Roger Aubert

Mumbles, Glamorganshire.—On the morning of the 28th February it was reported that a small vessel was dragging her anchors. She was the ketch Roger Aubert, of Paimpol, bound with a cargo of coal, and a crew of five, from Swansea to St. Brieuc. A strong N. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea, and it was snowing.

The motor life-boat Edward Prince of Wales was launched at HA.M., and finding that the ketch was still dragging, took off the crew and landed them.

She got back to her station at 11. 35 A.M.

Later on the weather moderated and the ketch's anchor held. The life-boat then put the men on board again: and finally arrived back at moorings at 4.30 P.M. She was rehoused next day.
