Gipsy King of Glasgow
— The schooner Gipsy King, of Glasgow, was totally wrecked during a heavy gale of wind on the Dulas Rocks, on the Anglesey coast, on the 17th October. At daybreak, during fearful weather, one of the crew was seen floating on a piece of timber close to the breakers, and within a few yards of the spot where the Royal Charter was wrecked in October, 1859. The Moelfre life-boat was quickly manned and launched, and arrived just in time to save the poor fellow from a watery grave. It was a race with Death, and the boat won. Had the boat been five minutes later, humanly speaking, the man would not have been saved. He was the only survivor of the vessel's crew of 10 men..
