HOLYHEAD, ANGLESEY.—About midnight on the 24th March IT. M.S. Opossum, while lying in the harbour at Holyhead, dragged her anchor and collided with the schooner Gipsy Maid. As she fired a rocket and showed signals of distress, the steam Life-boat Duke of Northumberland proceeded to her and succeeded in towing her clear of the schooner.

Shortly after this the cables of the Gipsy Maid parted, and the Life-boat then went to her aid and assisted to bring her in safety into the old harbour. There was a N. gale blowing at the time accompanied by very cold weather and rough sea..
