Mumbles, Glamorganshire. At 6.16 on the evening of the 18th of May, 1959, the coastguard informed the coxswain that two people were drifting out to sea in a canoe. The life-boat William Gammon—Manchester and District XXX was launched at 6.34 in a choppy sea. A fresh north-east-by-northerly wind was blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made for the position given and found a dinghy with two men on board. The outboard engine had broken down and there were no oars aboard. The life-boat took the dinghy in tow and reached her station at eight o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £6 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 4s..
