Angloman
HOLYHEAD, CEMAES and CEMLYN.— During a dense fog on the 9th February a large four-masted steamer, the Angloman, of and for Liverpool, with a general cargo and cattle, stranded on the West Flatters rocks. Fortunately the sea was smoothat the time and the wind was blowing only a moderate breeze from the S.W., but a very strong tide was running and there was a danger of the vessel slipping off the rocks, and possibly in that event she would have foundered. She fired rockets in rapid succession, and in response the Holyhead Nos. 1 and 2 Lifeboats, Thomas Fielden and Joseph Whitworfh, the Cemaes Life-boat, George Evans, and the Cemlyn Life-boat, B. J.
Nicholson, put off to the rescue. Thirtyeight of the crew were taken off the vessel by the Holyhead No. 1 Life-boat and were placed on board a steam-tug; the Holyhead No. 2 Life-boat landed twenty-one men on the Skerries, returned to the vessel and landed ten more; the Cemaes Life-boat took one of the officers on board, and at the desire of the captain remained by, eventually taking off four officers, three of whom were placed on board a tug, the other being landed at Cemaes, and the Cemlyn Life-boat at the request of the captain remained in attendance until the crew had been taken off..
