The ketch Syren of Beaumaris, whilst bound from Pwllheli to Runcorn stranded near the Gimblet Rock on the 8th March after dragging her anchors. Immedi- ately on receipt of information of the casualty the crew of the Life-boat Margaret Platt of Stalybridge were assembled and the boat launched. On going alongside it was found that the vessel was bumping heavily and the Master asked the Life-boat to stand by her until she floated. They accord- ingly did so and later on landed the two men in the harbour. There was a strong S.W. gale at the time of the accident, but it afterwards veered to N.W. and the vessel was out of danger..
