Stag

LLANDUDNO, CARNARVONSHIRE.—On the 19th February the smack Stag, of Beaumaris, having sprung a leak, took shelter in Llandudno Bay during a westerly gale then prevailing. About 3.50 P.M. she was found to be sinking, the crew therefore showed signals of distress.

Within twelve minutps of the assembly signal being fired the Life-boat Theodore Price was launched, and without loss of time the two men on board were rescued, the vessel ultimately sinking. The sea was rough at the time, and the boat is reported to have behaved remarkably well..
