HOLYHEAD.—A telephone message having been received from the Breakwater Lighthouse stating that a boat, containing one man, was drifting across Church Bay and was evidently in need of assistance, on the llth June, the coxswain of the Life-boat went to the coastguard station, and, with the aid of a telescope, saw the boat drifting helplessly.

A strong breeze was blowing from N.W., and the sea was rough.

He at once summoned the crew, and at 3.10 A.M. the Life-boat Joseph Whitworth was launched, and was fortunately successful in taking the man and his boat safely back to the shore..
