Anne, of Plymouth

On the 14th September, the brig Anne, f Plymouth, and the schooner Betsey, of Peterhead, during a heavy gale from the S.W., were compelled to anchor in an unsafe position near Holy head; on the 15th, the wind shifting, they dragged their anchors and drifted close to the rocks. Their posi- tion being one of great danger, the Holy- head life-boat proceeded through a heavy sea, and took oft'both their crews, 14 in all, and landed them at Holyhead. Both vessels were subsequently got into the harbour.
