Mumbles, Glamorganshire. At noon on the 3rd of May, 1959, the coastguard informed the coxswain that the cabin cruiser Elizabeth Victoria of Swansea was in difficulties half a mile south ofthe coastguard look-out. The life-boat William Gammon—Manchester and District XXX was launched at 12.4 in a choppy sea, with a fresh south-westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. She found the cabin cruiser with a crew of five in broken seas on the Mixen Sands.

After several attempts a tow line was made fast and the cabin cruiser was brought to a safe anchorage in the bay.

The life-boat reached her station at one o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £3 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 16s..
