During a strong gale on the 6th August, the yacht Maude, of Glasgow, was observed flying a signal of distress while at anchor, and the Lite-boat Christopher Brown at once pro- ceeded to her. Having anchored to O windward, the Life-boat was veered down to the yacht, and three of her occupants were taken off; tho crew of two men, however, preferred to remain on board. The Life-boat therefore returned without them and landed the three men at Beaumaris. It appeared that the yacht was on her way to Scotland, but in the heavy weather lost her sails and some of her spars; she then anchored as stated above, and later in the day was towed by a steamer to moorings off Bangor..
