The Mumbles, Glamorganshire.—On the 1st of August, 1955, the life-boat William Gammon—Manchester and District XXX was launched to stand by during a local reg-atta, but at 7.50 in the evening the coastguard reported that four men in a ship's boat under sail, one and a half miles south of the coastguard station, needed help. The sea was choppy, there was a moderate north-easterly breeze, and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat made for the boat, which was near Swansea pier, and found that she was sinking and unable to make way. The boat had come from the coaster Johnny V, of London, about three and a half miles away. The life-boat towed her to the ship and then returned to her station, arriving at 9.20.—Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 12s..
