MAY 17TH. - FERRYSIDE, CARMARTHENSHIRE.

At 8.30 A.M. the coxswain received information from the Pembrey coastguard that a vessel was in difficulties on the Cefn Sidan Sands, and at 9.25 A.M. the motor life-boat William Maynard was launched. A strong southerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found the motor vessel Narwal, formerly of Delfzijl, Holland, ashore near Pembrey aerodrome, with a crew of nine aboard. She was in ballast and bound from Hayle for Port Talbot. The life-boat stood by until it was clear that the crew were in no danger, and then returned to her station, arriving at noon. In case the position of the vessel should become dangerous on the nest tide the lifeboat crew stood by from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M., but their services were not needed as the vessel refloated and went on her way.- Rewards, £10 10s. 6d..
