JANUARY 2 1ST. - THE MUMBLES, GLAMORGANSHIRE. At 9.15 A.M. a message was received from the coastguard that a vessel, which was thought to have been mined, was sinking about six miles W.S.W. of Mumbles Head. The sea was smooth, with a moderate easterly breeze blowing, but it was misty and cold. At 9.35 A.M. the motor life-boat Edward Prince of Wales was launched, and found the S.S. Protesilaus, of 9,500 tons. A patrol boat was alongside her and had taken off fifty-three of the steamer’s crew. The remaining twenty-two, of whom eight had been injured, were rescued by the life-boat and, brought ashore. The life-boat was back at her station at 12.15 P.M. The owners of the steamer, Messrs. A.
