The Scarweather Lightvessel

The Mumbles, Glamorganshire. — At 10.50 on the morning of the 6th of April, 1951, the Trinity House Super- intendent asked if the life-boat could be launched to land a sick man from the Scarweather lightvessel. No other boat was available, so at 11.20 the life- boat William Gammon—Manchester and District XXX, was launched in a moderate sea with a south-westerly breeze blowing. She landed the man at The Mumbles, where an ambulance was waiting, and arrived back at her station at 1.30 that afternoon.—Re- wards, £10 12s. 6d. No expense to the Institution..
