Shortly after 11 A.M. on Sunday morning the 4th March, a message was sent to the Cox- swain of the Life-boat that a vessel was ashore between the " East Mouse " and the mainland. Steps were at once taken to launch the Life-boat James Cullen, and by 11.40 the vessel was reached. She proved to be the ketch Eliza Jane, of Beaumaris, bound from Fishguard to Amlwch in ballast. It was not necessary to give any active assistance, but as the ketch had a considerable list and was bumping heavily the Life-boat stood by her until 1.30 P.M., when she floated off on the tide, and got into Amlwch Harbour.

There was a moderate sea, and the wind was blowing strongly from W.S.W..
