The Mumbles, Glamorganshire.—At 6.55 on the evening of the 7th of June, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that a cabin cruiser was making very heavy weather five miles south-south-west of Mumbles Head. At 7.10 the life-boat William Gammon—Manchester and District XXX was launched. The sea was very rough, and a moderate gale was blowing from the south-east.

During her search the life-boat came up with a sailing boat, with a crew of three, in difficulties off the head. She escorted her to safety, and continued the search for the cabin cruiser, which she eventually found ashore in Oxwich Bay. The cabin cruiser was the Ampico 2. Her crew of seven had gone ashore. The life-boat then re- turned to her station, arriving at 10.30.—Rewards, £19 6*..
