On the even- ing of the 6th May the coastguard telephoned that a schooner, about one mile N.E. of Holyhead breakwater, was dragging her anchor and flying a dis- tress signal. Some of her sails had been blown away. The motor life-boat A.E.D. put out to her help at 7.55 P.M., in a whole south gale, with a very heavy sea. She found the schooner to be the Snowflake, of Runcorn, bound with a cargo of coal to Mevagissey. She was rolling heavily, and her master asked to be towed in. There were no tugs available; however, and in view of the extremely bad conditions, it was not considered advisable for the life- boat to attempt the task. On the advice of the coxswain another anchor was dropped, and then the crew of four were" brought ashore in the life-boat, which arrived back at her station at 8.55 P.M. The schooner rode out the storm. Next day the life-boat put the crew back on board and helped the steamer into a safe berth in the Inner Harbour.—Rewards, 1st Service, £8 15s.; 2nd Service, Property Salvage Case..
