A Boat

MOELFRE, ANGLESEY.—Two gentlemen and two boys started in a boat fromPenllech, Carnarvonshire, at 2.30 P.M., on the 4th August, intending to sail along the bay; but the wind blowing off the shore with a strong tide the boat was carried outside the Castle rocks and across Eed Wharf Bay. In returning she was driven further from the shore, and her position having been observed, a mounted messenger at once proceeded to Moelfre to obtain the services of the Life-boat.

At 5 P.M.S the Life-boat Star of Hope was launched, picked up the boat which had arrived off Moelfre and was about four or five miles from the land, and towed her safely ashore..
