— On the 16th November the auxiliary ketch Marie Celine, of Connah's Quay, was bound from Connah's Quay to Dublin with a cargo of bricks. She had a crew of three. Four miles N.W. of Point Lynas all her sails were blown away and her engine was put out of action by water. She was unmanageable and began to drift on to a lee shore. A tele- phone message was sent from Point Lynas to the life-boat station, and the motor life-boat G.W. was launched at 5.30 P.M. A strong N.N.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. The master of the Marie Celine did not want to abandon his ship, but asked for a tow.

A line was passed, and the life-boat towed her into Holyhead, arriving there at 11.30 P.M. The life-boat left for home at 4.30 next morning, reach- ing her station again at 7.30 A.M.— Property Salvage Case..
