During a strong wind from N.W., on the 17th June, the ship Mary Roe, of Quebec, struck on the Cefn Sidan Sands, about seven miles from this place. As soon as in- formation of the disaster was received, the City of Manchester life-boat was launched, and proceeded to the rescue of the vessel's crew. On arriving alongside, the crew of 7 men were found preparing to leave in their boat, and the life-boat thereupon towed the ship's boat safely to land through a heavy ground sea. The vessel afterwards became a total wreck.
