The schooner Kate, of Peel, bound to Runcorn from Looe, with a crew of four and a cargo of china clay, was sheltering in Moelfre Roads on the 31st January when she caught fire. A whole S.W. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea and rain. Her distress signals were seen from shore, and the motor life-boat G.W. was launched at 9.45 P.M. With great difficulty, owing to the fire and the gale, the life-boat was manoeuvred alongside the schooner and the four men were rescued. Eventually the schooner burnt to the water's edge and sank. It was not possible to get the life-boat back on her slipway, and part of the crew remained in her at moorings until the next day, when she was rehoused.—Rewards, £18 17s..
