The Mumbles, Glamorganshire.—At 10.12 on the morning of the 12th of De- cember, 1952, the coastguard passed on a message from Burnham Radio that two ship's boats were being driven towards Sker Point in Swansea Bay.

The life-boat William Gammon—Man- chester and District XXX was launched at 10.30 in a heavy ground swell with a moderate westerly breeze blowing.

She found fifteen men in the two boats.

The boats belonged to the Olav Ringdal Jr. of Oslo, to which the men were trying to return. The life-boat picked up both boats, brought them to their ship, and reached her station again at 12.40.—Rewards, £11 Is..
