This life-boat, which is named the Princess of Wales, went off twice and rendered valuable assistance to the barque Adelaide, of Pernambuco, bound thence from Liverpool with a cargo of cotton, which was in a very dangerous posi- tion near the Clipera Rocks during a heavy gale from the N.W. with a tremendous sea, on the 2nd March. The wind shifting to the N.N.E., and it being feared "the vessel would strike the ground and go to pieces at low water, it was resolved to make an effort to run her into Holyhead Harbour Some of the life-boat men therefore went on board, sail was made, the cables slipped and, being well handled, the barque ran in in most masterly style, to the admiration of all who witnessed the scene.
