Ann Pritchard

LLANDDULAS. — On the 19th January, during a S.W. gale, the smack Ann Pritchard, of Carnarvon, was observed with a signal of distress flying, 3 miles from this station. The Life-boat Henry Nixson, No. 2, was accordingly launched, and after an hour and a half of hard work at the oars the smack was boarded; she was found to have parted from her cable, to be leaking badly, and was unmanageable.

The crew of 2 persons had given themselves up for lost. The Life-boat, having got the crew out, ultimately ran the vessel on the beach, regaining their station about 9 P.M..
