The Eleanor and Jane

Information was received at 4.30 P.M.

on the 4th of April, during a moderate N.W. breeze, that a schooner was ashore on the North Stack, and required immediate assistance. The Thomas Fielding Life-boat was quickly taken out, and found that the vessel, the Eleanor and Jane, of Aberystwyth, bound from Bangor for Harburg with slates, had floated in a disabled state, her rudder was damaged, and she was leaking badly. The Lifeboatmen rendered assistance in pumping and steering the vessel, and at 6.15 a small tug took her in tow, and she was placed alongside the quay in the Old Harbour at 8.30, having then 5J feet of water in her hold..
