OCTOBER 4TH. - FERRYSIDE, CARMARTHENSHIRE.

At 7.20 in the evening the Pembrey coastguard telephoned that a small vessel was in difficulty in the Llanelly Estuary.

A strong northerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat William Maynard was launched at eight o’clock and found the motor fishing boat Melrose, of Swansea, with a crew of two. Her engine had broken down, her anchor had parted, her sails had been blown away and she was only a few feet from the Burry Holm Rocks. The life-boat went alongside and found her to be half full of water. At the skipper’s request she took the Melrose in tow and on the next flood tide brought her into Ferryside. She reached her station again at 7.40 the following morning. - Rewards, £24 14s..
