During a moderate northerly gale with a choppy sea on the 30th July the ketch Brothers, of Cardigan, commenced to drag her anchors. As the vessel was on a lee shore signals of distress were made, and in response the crew of the Life-boat Elizabeth Austin were assembled and the boat launched. On reaching the vessel it was found that she was rolling heavily with the sea breaking over her and was very close to the rocks. The two men were rescued and the Life-boat, which is reported to have behaved splendidly, returned ashore..
