HOLYHEAD. — It having been reported that a ship was ashore in Church' Bay, the Thomas Fidden Life-boat was launched at 1 P.M. on the 9th of January, and taken in tow by a steam-tug. On reaching the vessel, which proved to be the barque James Kemoay, of Llanelly, bound from Liverpool for Charleston, it was found that her craw had left her, the master alone having remained on board.

He was taken into the Life-boat, and landed at Holyhead at 4 P.M., and shortly afterwards the vessel became a total wreck..
