Mizpah

Llandudno, Caernarvonshire. — During a south-westerly gale on the 20th August the yacht Mizpah, of Liverpool, which had been anchored in the bay overnight, dragged her anchor and was quickly driven out to sea. A rough sea was running and the weather was squally. The motor life-boat Thomas and Annie Wade Richards was launched to her help at 10.30 A.M., and overtook her about four miles out. The three men on board were rescued and the Mizpah was towed back to a safe mooring. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.30 P.M. The Llandudno life-boat had previously saved this yacht and rescued her crew of three on the 6th May last. —Rewards, £7 17s..
