HOLYHEAD. — Signals of distress were fired at 6.30 A.M., on the 9th December,1886, by the ship Pegasus, of and for Liverpool, laden with timber, which was in danger amongst the breakers in the S.E. part of the bay during a N.W.

by W. wind and a very heavy sea. The Life-boat Thomas Fielden went out in tow of a steam-tug, bat soon had to be cast off, and then proceeded through the heavy breakers to the vessel over which the seas were making a clean breach, rescued her crew of twenty men and a pilot and brought them safely ashore. The Lifeboat again went out and piloted into a place of safety the schooner Jane Anwyl, which was in distress.

The Silver Medal of the Institution and a copy of the vote inscribed on vellum were awarded to Mr. EDWARD JONES, Coxswain of the Life-boat, in recognition of his gallant services in the boat on this and on former occasions.
