The American Steamer George Vickers, of Baltimore

MARCH 26TH. - THE MUMBLES, GLAMORGANSHIRE.

At 2.45 in the morning the coastguard reported that the American steamer George Vickers, of Baltimore, was asking for a boat to land two of her crew, who were seriously ill. As no other boat could be got the motor life-boat Edward Prince of Wales was launched at 3.15 in a smooth sea, and found the steamer two miles south of Mumbles Head. She landed the two sick men at five o’clock and they were sent by ambulance to hospital. The owners of the steamer made a donation to the Institution. - Rewards, £16 1s..
