The steamer Bosabelle, of Chester, whilst bound from Garston to Waterford on the 7th November, struck a rock when in the vicinity of the Skerries, and stranded outside Cemlyn Point. The Life-boat Charles Henry Ashley was launched to her assistance. When the Life-boat got alongside, the Captain requested the Coxswain to stand by his vessel until the next following high water. He accordingly did so, but, owing to the shallowness of the water over the rocks on the other side of the vessel, the Life- boat was unable to remain alongside, and had to anchor some little distance away. At daylight a salvage vessel belonging to a Liverpool company arrived on the scene and hauled the vessel clear; she was then taken to Holyhead. The services of the Life- boat being no longer required, she returned to her station, arriving at 11 A.M..
