The S.S. Fawn (1)
The Mumbles, Glamorganshire. —• At 10.40 on the night of the 27th of January, 1948, the coastguard tele- phoned that the Scarweather Light- ship had reported flares fourteen miles to the southward, and at 11.10 the motor life-boat William Gammon—• Manchester and District XXX was launched in a south-easterly breeze and a moderate sea. She found the S.S.
Fawn, of Ramsey, six miles south-south- west of the lightship, drifting with her engines broken down. Another vessel took her in tow and, accompanied by the life-boat, made for Swansea Bay, where the Fawn anchored. The life- boat then returned to her station, arriving at 3.5 the following morning.—- Rewards, £24 8s..
