The Mumbles, Glamorganshire. — At 5.17 in the evening of the 8th of January, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that the motor fishing vessel Johnny Eager, of Swansea, was making distress signals, and at 5.40 the life-boat William Gammon — Manchester and District XXX was launched. A strong north- erly breeze was blowing with a choppy sea. The life-boat found the Johnny Eager ten miles west-south-west of Mumbles Head with her propeller fouled. She had a crew of four. The life-boat towed her to Swansea, and arrived back at her station at 11.10 that night.—Rewards, £18 10s..
