JANUARY 26TH. - ST. DAVID’S, PEMBROKESHIRE. January 26th was a Sunday, and Dr. Joseph Soar, Mus.Doc., organist at St. David’s Cathedral and the honorary secretary of the life-boat station, received a telephone message at the Cathedral during the morning service, through the police, which came from the Milford Haven naval base. The message asked for the lifeboat to go out to a vessel, the Beemsterdijk, which had been reported as sinking after striking a mine, but naval vessels had also gone out and had found the vessel, and the life-boat was recalled. - Rewards, £19 13s.
