Morning Star, of Carnarvon

On the 27th February, information was received here that a vessel was in distress in the bay. The wind was blowing hard from the N.E. at the time, and the sea was very rough.

The Sisters' Memorial life-boat was imme- diately launched; and, proceeding to the vessel, found her sunk, the crew of 3 men clinging to the rigging. With some diffi- culty they succeeded in taking the poor fellows off, and afterwards in landing them safely at Llandudno. The vessel proved to be the flat Morning Star, of Carnarvon.

It is somewhat singular that, on the 7th December, 1864, this very same vessel and her crew were both rescued from a very perilous position by the same life-boat.
