At about 8.55 A.M. on 3rd January a message was received from the Coastguard that a ketch, with a distress signal flying, was dragging her anchors near No. 1 Black Buoy, and was in danger of stranding on the Causeway off Puffin Island. The Motor Life-boat Frederick Kitchen was launched in a moderate S.W. gale, with a choppy sea, and found the vessel to be the ketch Florence, of Runcorn, bound light to Griffiths Crossing for bricks. She took off the two men on board and landed them at Beaumaris, arriving back at her Station at 10.25 A.M.
