Miss Hunt

HOLYHEAD.—Signals of distress being seen in the bay, the No. 1 Life-boat Thomas Fielden was launched at 9.10 P.M.

on the 25th January, while a strong gale from N.E. was blowing with severe squalls, a heavy sea, and snow. The boat sailed in the direction in which the signals had been observed, and found they were shown by the schooner Miss Hunt. As the vessel was dragging her anchors and drifting towards the shore, her crew of four men were taken into the Life-boat and landed in the Old Harbour, where the boat was moored for the night, the sea being too heavy to return her to the Life-boat house..
