County of Anglesea

The ketch County of Anglesea, of Carnarvon, whilst bound from that port to Rhosneigir with a cargo of bricks, was seen at 8.50 P.M., on the 15th March, drifting down towards the cliffs of Trecastell.

The weather was not very bad at the time, although a heavy ground swell was making, she was therefore kept under observation. Seeing that the vessel was getting dangerously near the rocks the crew o£ the Life-boat Thomas Linglimm, were assembled and the boat launched.

About this time the wind veered to the southward, which enabled the ketch to reach out, and the Life-boat stood by her until she made an anchorage..
