Coast guards rescue crew and a pony in peril at sea
The narrative recalls life savers near Lamington and New Seaay who saved twenty men and a Spanish pony from a steamer using breeches buoy. The Cutarer Canyne might have gone ashore without a danger signal. The Canaré company saved between 100 000 and 200 000 in value due to a red warning light. The article argues for pensions and year round work for life savers, noting the guard service risks without public recognition or retirement provisions.
