At about 5.30 A.M. on the 31st March flares were ob- served from Moelfre Island. A strong S.W. gale prevailed at the time, with rough sea, and the Life-boat Charles and Eliza Laura was launched. On arriving at the north side of the Island they found the schooner Mien Harrison, of Barrow, ashore, and rescued the crew of five men. It appeared that the vessel was bound from Connah's Quay to Dublin with a cargo of bricks and tiles, and when trying to run into the Bay for shelter she missed stays and went ashore. Her cargo was subsequently jettisoned and the vessel was success- fully refloated, when it was found that her keel and bottom had been badly damaged..
