On the evening of the 6th July a small trawler, the Hero, hailing from Rhyl, anchored in Llandudno Bay. There was a strong N.N.W. breeze blowing, with a rough sea, and at 7.40 P.M.

the men on board hoisted a signal of distress. They raised the alarm because the anchor had dragged and they were in danger of being driven on to the rocks. The Life-boat Theodore Price was launched and rescued the two men, the master being in a very exhausted condition. The firing of the Life-boat assembly signal attracted a large crowd, and the rescue was witnessed by many thousands of people, who heartily cheered the Life-boatmen..
