BULL BAY.—At 2.15 P.M. on the 22nd December, 1886, a signal of distress was shown by the schooner Ocean Belle, of Amlwch, which was at anchor in a dangerous position in the Bay, Anglesey, during a strong wind from the N.W.

Her crew of four men were taken into the Life-boat and safely landed.

After the boat had -reached the shore signals were shown by another schooner, the Pacific, of Aberystwyth, which had also anchored in a dangerous position.

The Life-boat went out again and brought that vessel's crew, numbering five men, also ashore..
