On the 26th January the smack St. Patrick, of Bangor, was observed flying signals of distress at anchor in Red Wharf Bay, the wind blowing a gale from S.S.W. The life-boat at Moelfre was immediately launched to her aid, and found that she had lost one anchor.

The crew of 3 men were brought ofl shore, but as the vessel rode to the remaining an- chor all night, they returned on board in the morning, and proceeded on their voyage..
