The S.S. Faraday
MARCH 26TH. - ANGLE, PEMBROKESHIRE.
At 8.10 P.M. the St. Anns Head coastguard telephoned that the S.S. Faraday, of London, had been bombed and was on fire one and a half miles W. of St. Anns, and the motor life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched at 9 P.M. A W.S.W. wind was blowing and the sea was rough. The lifeboatlifeboat found a Belgian trawler which had some of the Faraday's crew on board and boats in tow. As the trawler was unable to enter harbour in the darkness the life-boat escorted her into smooth water, and then took off from her and landed fifty-six of the Faraday‘s crew. At the request of the naval authorities she put out again and searched from 1.30 A.M. until daylight for another vessel, but she found nothing and returned at 8 A.M. The flag officer in charge of the naval base at Milford Haven thanked the life-boat crew for their work. - Rewards, £24 8s. 6d..
